Prevalent stereotypes and gender biases are among the reasons women continue to be under-represented in the gaming industry, says Shahrizan Mohd Sharif, senior manager of Digital Content Development at Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation (MDEC).

"The perception that gaming is a male-dominated field can discourage women from pursuing careers in it. To address this, it's important to challenge stereotypes, promote positive role models, and highlight the diverse contributions women make to the industry," says Shahrizan.
