Women have faced and undeniably are still facing gender-bias in open-source areas. According to a survey by The Guardian- it was found that the “Women’s acceptance rates dominate over men’s for every programming language in the top 10, to various degrees” but still there's a long way to go as women are still classified as minorities compared to men, and in this way its important to motivate the ones who desire to follow the league.
To do so its important to keep several points checked:
1: Making yourself gender-identifiable on technical/professional websites and forums because being identified as female is really important, so that the people realise that minorities do exist and minorities to know that they are not alone .This could be major motivation for others to step-up and show their skills.
2: Spreading awareness of opensource contributions regarding documentations amongst the school girls and motivate then to try it once.
3: Using social media to encourage and aware the girls. Our generation is extremely active on social media , so utilising that advantage to maintain the pages that show others contributions on opensource and spread awareness about the contests and scholarships that can be claimed via contributing could help us bring few more women towards opensource.
4: in countries like India, where a large fraction of women choose to be housewives inspite of being educated enough to do a decent-job, open-source , where one can contribute by staying at home, could be a opportunity to keep themselves busy and earn something.
Lastly, helping each other is the way to increase the number of female contributers in opensource.

I think that there are enough opportunities for girls in tech field. But the thing is that they did't get supportive environment from childhood as for most of the things boys are preferred against girls and due to which they lack confidence and they have not enough information about the opportunities which are available for them. There is very less number of inspiration for women.
One more problem is that when women start anything new thing in tech they didn't find any women mentor or rarely get women mentor with whom they can be more comfortable.
One more big problem is that women doesn't do group work or not able to do so because her other friends thinks it is not for them they feel very inferior.
and There is a stereotype in mind of most of the people they are minority they can't be better than boys if women has done well than men then people thought that it is done to bring diversity in this field they doesn't respect women's talent.
I think these are the things which must be done for bringing more Women in tech.

1. Women who are already very good in tech field they should come forward and inspire other women.
2. No need to say that social media is very good platform to spread awareness among girls.
3. Girls should be given equal credit as Boys get for any type of work.
4. We should make a supportive environment for women in tech field it should not be like that other people make feel them as minority.

As a girl we know that girls really have that desire and potential to acquire anything what comes in.
From the childhood onward girls are raised with lot of care and cautions. Also they are underestimated for doing certain things, which makes them feels to hesitate to try upon new stuffs. Also many of them fears of the consequences("what would I do after this,then that.....1!!!!!!). And when they finally try to do some technical stuffs, and in it if somethings goes wrong,they will mess up with it, instead of tackling or dealing with the error patiently they will get afraid of it, and then what, the damn started thing will be offed!!!. And this is the only thing which makes them
limit themselves to certain bounds only. The thing which we as the upcoming Women Developers need to do is to remove these mindsets off.

To make them involved in the Open Source, is to make them feel friendly in this environment. We need to make them aware of all the platforms and opportunities available to them to work throughout the world. And instead of giving the womens any special treatment than the mens, they should be provided with the same treatment as the mens, so that they will value the efforts that are needed to become a good Developer.

I would suggest (As now we are the future female developers)
1)We should make a website where there will be a thorough map of how to get started with the Open source environment. There we will provide the links and PDF's of different stuffs, to be learned, and along with that we will add blogs where we will write upon detailed instructions and command to get started with certain workspace, like Github, DevOps,etc.

2)We should arrange Girls only Codathons/Hackathons. As every girl wants to be more better than other girls, they will brace up themselves, and would give their best in it.

3)Different workshops should be arranged for women, so that they feel friendly while working on Open Source environment.

4)Companies should increase the number of female interns, and make them work hard so that they will become efficient to work more upon developing.

5)Also the number of female mentors should be increased, so as to make upcoming developers feel free to ask their doubts to them.

6)The Developer Companies should bridge the gender pay gap.

In the modern world, some of the very advanced philosophers have started calling coding skills as a new form of literacy. The world is moving towards an age where machine automation and artificial intelligence is the biggest technology, and will generate the amount of jobs which the history has never witnessed. Talking of literacy, ample attempts have been made by the people in power to provide the girl child with the resources so that she can compete with her counterparts and be a part of the mainstream workforce. Today, the number of girls joining engineering and IT colleges is more than ever. But, just enrolling in a course does not guarantee education. Girls come with their own set of reservations and childhood conditioning, which needs to be catered separately by their seniors and peers, if not the administration.
Organising specific programmes for girls and giving them a platform where they can compete judgement-free will boost their morale and will greatly aid their learning. Even though I do not advocate reservation for girls in the corporate job market, I do suggest that certain competitions and hackathons can be conducted solely for girls.
I think that a lack of good role models demotivates girls from taking up technology as a career. The successful women in the IT field should become more visible to the general public, so that little girls can dream to be like them.
A few years ago, Google launched the Helping Women Get Online programme to help women access the internet and share their work with fellow women. This was a great initiative. We can learn from it, and launch a similar programme where educated women can get a platform and take part in product development or other open source projects while still performing their household duties which are given to them by their families.
In the end, I would like to say that the times are changing for the better, and we live in a golden age where we can finally have a respectable life of our own. Although, there is a long way to go.
