Mission and Vision

Our Mission
The mission of FAT is to empower women by enhancing women’s awareness, interest and participation in technology. We work towards this by breaking societal stereotypes and attitudes, encouraging and enabling women to feel capable and comfortable in working with technology, and collaborating with other women’s organizations to mainstream the issue of engendering technology.

Our Vision
FAT envisions a world where the use and creation of technology is gender neutral. This is a world where all women have equal opportunities to learn, use and create technology, irrespective of their academic background, economic status or geographical location; an environment where women are not intimidated by new technologies but rather have an open mind to experiment with and benefit from them.

Our Beliefs
Women are as able as men to use and make any kind of technology efficiently. 

Women are crucial agents of social change. Technology and social change are closely interlinked. Every society goes through a social change with the introduction of a new technology. For women to participate fully in this change, they should not be intimidated by technology.

Technology is a great determinant of a society’s materialistic development and in turn influences the standard of life hugely. The wheels of evolving technology are never going to stay still; so it is up to women to catch up with it.
