We celebrate the remarkable contributions of women and girls in science, who remain a minority among the world’s researchers.
Women and girls are underrepresented across many STEM fields globally. It is essential to bridge the gender gap not only on fairness grounds but also for the relevance, impact, and quality of work demonstrated by women and girls in science and related fields.
In building an all-inclusive STEM ecosystem, let us provide a platform for advocacy, education, action, and measurable impact in areas such as artificial intelligence, health research, scientific entrepreneurship, and cybersecurity.
Science and technology offer unique opportunities to improve the lives of people, from better healthcare to sustainability. One major challenge is the underrepresentation of women in these fields.
Together, we can break long-standing gender stereotypes and male-dominated workplace cultures. Every woman or girl deserves equal access to scientific participation to promote STEM and related fields.
Highlighting a day like this, with evidence-based research in AI, health, cybersecurity, and scientific entrepreneurship, makes women’s presence in STEM normal, expected, and celebrated.
Together, we can achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development by investing in, nurturing, and supporting women and girls in transformative STEM and related fields.
