For the past two years, Facebook has worked to build a community of women within the gaming industry, and now it is formally launching its Women in Gaming initiative.

It starts, of course, with a Facebook page for the group to gather and tell each other stories and build meaningful connections with each other. The goal is to change the industry and make it more welcoming for women, said Aoife Brodigan, head of marketing for the Facebook Europe and Middle East team, in an interview with GamesBeat.
