Women Who Code (WWC), a charity which supports women who work in the technology sector, has announced it is shutting down because of a lack of funding.
The US-based organisation says it had 360,000 people in its community, across 145 countries.
Tech has long struggled with its image of being male-dominated – the bosses of nearly all major firms are men.
Women working in the industry have been expressing shock on social media, describing the closure as “awful” and “heart-breaking.”
