Abstract

As an attempt to increase the proportion of women in Computing there is a concern in several universities, civil societies and companies to incentivate actions that promote women representation in Computing. This article aims to present an analysis of one of those iniciatives, the Women in Information Technology (WIT), event promoted by the Brazilian Society of Computing, by analysing the actions held by the event in a decade and the papers published in the tenth edition of the event. The results show the growth of the initiative and the dissemination of actions to encourage greater participation of women in the areas of Computing in almost all Brazilian regions.
