LinuxChix-India aims at free software access for women

"Knowing a lot of women from rural India, I have had a number of discussions with them. Their parents and later in-laws are the ones who decide for them," Devarajan added.
She feels other factors come in - a lack of awareness and the lack of suitable rewards.
"The reasons for fewer women in FOSS seems comparable to the reasons for fewer women in research. I personally can quote a number of problems faced.
"The problem is not with the guys using FOSS, it's with the men outside of it. Bureaucracy and a condescending attitude are a few problems that come to mind," Devarajan added.
