Note from Nighthawk.NZ:

Shouldn't you be hiring the right person for the job, and it shouldn't be because gender... The NZDF also struggling to get more females as they want 50/50 ... well if females don't want to join then you can't make them... many positions females simply do not want to be doing. Construction example (Yes there are exceptions where 1 or 2 are in the position etc) but in general it is a male dominated area purely because most females simply don't want to do it they want to be in another industry which is usually dominated by you guessed females...Same can be said with nurses there are not than many male nurses.

If at school you are not teaching females they can become a construction worker, or work in the armed forces, then the 50/50 ratio will never be achieved. If someone doesn't want to work with computers and become a computer engineer then you can't force them and it doesn't matter what gender they are.
