In recent decades, the international community has made a great effort to inspire and promote the participation of women and girls in science. However, women continue to find obstacles to function in the field of science.
Did you know…?
Women tend to receive more modest research grants than their male colleagues and, although they represent 33.3% of all researchers, only 12% of members of national scientific academies are women.
In cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence, where only one in five professionals (22%) is a woman.
Despite skills shortages in most technology fields driving the Fourth Industrial Revolution, women still make up just 28% of engineering graduates and 40% of computer science graduates
Female researchers tend to have shorter careers and lower pay. Their work is underrepresented in high-profile magazines and they are often overlooked for promotions.
