# Share your stories for the #WomenWhoTech writing challenge & win a Hashnode T-Shirt!


Earlier this month, [we launched the #WomenWhoTech campaign](https://townhall.hashnode.com/women-who-tech-2022) as part of our efforts to showcase and shed light on gender diversity in the tech industry.
One of our now permanent efforts has been creating a [new writing challenge](https://hashnode.com/challenge/women-who-tech) to encourage sharing your stories, experiences, or achievements as a woman or supporter of women in tech:
