United Nations – Gender equality in science is crucial for building a better future for all, and diversity in research expands the pool of talented researchers, bringing in fresh perspectives, talent and creativity. This Day is a reminder that women and girls play a critical role in science and technology communities and that their participation should be strengthened.
Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields are widely regarded as critical to national economies. Let’s help pave a path to STEM careers that women and girls deserve – and our world needs.
Closing the gender gap in science requires breaking stereotypes, promoting role models to inspire girls, supporting women’s advancement through targeted programs, and fostering inclusive environments through policies and actions that promote inclusion, diversity and equity.
