Sama, a top company that offers solutions for annotating data and validating models, just launched a set of programmes to help women in technology through 2024.

The company made it clear that it was committed to equal rights for women and breaking down barriers for them in the digital market.

As part of the celebrations for International Women’s Day, Sama planned a series of events and activities, such as talks in high schools, roundtables with female tech leaders, and social media posts about extraordinary women in the company and the industry.

“The gender poverty gap remains a serious global issue, and women are vastly underrepresented in the AI industry. Sama is committed to creating an environment where everyone can succeed, regardless of gender,” said Wendy Gonzalez, CEO of Sama. “We are dedicated to developing the next generation of female leaders and building a more inclusive future for AI.”

Women comprise 53% of Sama’s global workforce, 48% of its senior managers, and 50% of its executive team. This makes it a leader in the tech business in terms of gender representation. Through policies, programmes, and reviews by a third party, the company works hard to ensure everyone has the same opportunities.

To ensure everyone has the exact chance in the digital economy, Sama will start a public lecture series this spring to teach young people about job possibilities in the tech industry. Lisa Avvocato, VP of Marketing at Sama, will give the first lesson at a secondary school in Kenya for girls from low-income families.

Extra projects include:

Companywide fireside chats and talks led by women year-round.

Female employee mentorship, leadership development, and skill-building courses.

A social media campaign highlighting different women’s enterprises and AI sector successes.

Regularly reviewing hiring rules for gender balance, equal chances, and equal compensation.

Leila Janah Foundation (LJF), Sama’s primary stakeholder, benefits from its performance. LJF gives East African women and youth jobs, not charity. The LJF launched the Women Founders Award to promote rural western Kenyan women entrepreneurs.

“Despite progress, women still disproportionately experience poverty and insecure work globally,” said LJF Programme Director Liliosa Mbirimi. “Sama, the LJF, and others must help women escape poverty and enter the formal economy, addressing massive global inequality.”
