  It is essential to discuss the role, difficulties, and opportunities
concerning people of different gender in the field of software engineering
research, education, and industry. Although some literature reviews address
software engineering and gender, it is still unclear how research and practices
in Asia exist for handling gender aspects in software development and
engineering. We conducted a systematic literature review to grasp the
comprehensive view of gender research and practices in Asia. We analyzed the 32
identified papers concerning countries and publication years among 463
publications. Researchers and practitioners from various organizations actively
work on gender research and practices in some countries, including China,
India, and Turkey. We identified topics and classified them into seven
categories varying from personal mental health and team building to
organization. Future research directions include investigating the synergy
between (regional) gender aspects and cultural concerns and considering
possible contributions and dependency among different topics to have a solid
foundation for accelerating further research and getting actionable practices.
