It's crucial to debunk this age-old myth, especially when data reveals that approximately 46% of the U.S. gamer population is female. Misconceptions may have persisted due to the industry's historical issues with sexism or the lack of diverse and complex female characters in video games. However, positive shifts are happening, and it all starts with conversations acknowledging how many young women love playing video games.
Our Girls Who Code program extends beyond empowering girls and recognizing their presence in the gaming world. We are also dedicated to encouraging more young women to become creators of the video games they adore. This mission is not only about gender inclusion but also about ensuring that Black girls have a prominent place in this exciting and innovative industry.
