Gender Bias in STEM

Gender bias in STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) refers to the unequal treatment and opportunities women and girls face within these fields. This bias can manifest in various ways, such as stereotypes suggesting that men are more suited for technical roles, disparities in hiring and promotion practices, and a lack of representation in leadership positions. These factors can discourage women from pursuing or advancing in STEM careers, leading to a significant gender gap in these industries. Addressing this bias is crucial for fostering diversity, innovation, and equal opportunities in STEM disciplines.
