ISFE Becomes Corporate Ambassador for ‘Women in Games’ During European Gender Equality Week

ISFE is delighted to announce that it is joining Women in Games as a corporate ambassador during the European Parliament’s first ever European Gender Equality Week.

Women in Games is a non-partisan, not-for-profit organisation founded in 2009, grown from grassroots to be the leading global force on gender equality in the video games industry. Women in Games’ vision is of not only an industry but a culture and community free of gender discrimination, where equity and parity of opportunity, treatment and conditions empowers girls and women from all backgrounds to achieve their full potential.

ISFE CEO Simon Little said: “It is essential that the industry strives to reflect gender equality in its workforce and in the video games themselves. Women currently represent only 30% of the workforce in the digital sector in the EU and, according to national surveys, 28% of workers in the video game sector are female.^[1] We look forward to working with Women in Games to drive and promote good practice across Europe for the good of both the industry and the playing community.”
