In this time of scientific progress, there is one area where we are falling behind, and by a lot – gender equality in science, technology, and innovation.
Women are underrepresented in STI by a margin of almost one woman for every four men. When half of our population is not given the opportunity to fully participate in these fields, we are missing out on talent, discoveries, perspectives and ideas.
We must work to introduce girls to positive scientific role models, overcome stereotypes and implement policy changes and innovative practices that empower women to reach their full potential.
Let us work together, in the framework of this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, to achieve gender equality in science and build a brighter future for us all.
