Why is there just one woman in the room?

Recently, I brought my daugthers to a project meeting. They do not attend school yet, and are at an age where they ask a lot of questions. „Why is there just one woman in the room? Will there come more women later?“ were questions to which I did not have a good answer.

Out of eighteen participants, we were 17 men and 1 woman. The challenge of attracting more women to the fields of information security, computer science, MINT … is apparently obvious already to quite young people.
