| Sumario: | Diversity is being discussed intensively by different knowledge areas, and it is no different in Software Engineering. For reasons that are still being studied, the engagement of genders in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers is not uniform. This gap is occurring at all levels, and it is evident, for instance, in the small percentage of women covering top positions in professional and academic activities in the field. At the same time, the community realizes that diversity plays a key role in a successful, competitive, and innovative context for software development and research. Such diversity is not only related to gender but also refers to culture, ethnicity, religion, and geography. In this context, the purpose of the Second Workshop on Gender Equality in Software Engineering is to continue discussing the role, difficulties, and opportunities concerning people of different genders in the field of software engineering in research, education, and industry. We hope the workshop continues annually until it is no longer necessary.
