A Frontend Story of Gender Equity

Here’s my creative take on gender equity in tech using React + SVG.

Concept

Breaking systemic bias
Equity over equality
Rising together

import { useEffect, useState } from 'react';

export default function EquityArtCreative() {
  const [balanced, setBalanced] = useState(false);

  useEffect(() => {
    setTimeout(() => setBalanced(true), 800);
  }, []);

  return (
    <div className="h-screen flex items-center justify-center bg-black">
      <svg width="600" height="500" viewBox="0 0 600 500">

        <defs>
          <linearGradient id="sky" x1="0" y1="0" x2="0" y2="1">

            <stop offset="100%" stopColor="#f472b6" />
          </linearGradient>
        </defs>

        <rect width="600" height="500" fill="url(#sky)" />

        <circle
          cx="300"
          cy={balanced ? 120 : 200}

        />

        <g
