This paper presents preliminary findings from the Women4Digital project, which analyze public policies in Portugal aimed at promoting women’s participation in the Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) sector. Despite national initiatives such as Engineers for a Day and the integration of gender equality goals into broader strategies like ENIND and INCoDe.2030, women remain significantly underrepresented in ICT careers and leadership positions. In this article, we present some results from the diagnosis of the situation in Europe and Portugal, the normative European framework and some analysis of our mapping of national policies to promote gender equality in the digital in Portugal. The study highlights the need for systemic and intersectional political approaches, with the full integration of a gender intersectional perspective, because the inequality problem is not only a matter of individual-level interventions but implies profound systemic gender transformations in education and labour market systems.
