So it's about equality and equal gender representation only in well paying professions? Doesn't sound all that equal to me.

Perhaps you didn't read closely, but the fact that computer engineering is a well-paid profession is only a result of its demand, influence and importance to the future economy. Devoting equal time and resources encouraging people to abandon higher education in order to pursue unskilled labor may sound like "equality" to you, but hardly seems like a sound strategy for the economy or any industry.

Well but all these initiatives are not so much about encouraging all people, but mostly women it appears.
