Gender Disparity in Science

Gender disparity in science refers to the unequal representation and treatment of individuals based on gender within scientific fields. Historically, women and non-binary individuals have faced barriers such as bias in hiring, limited access to funding, and lack of mentorship. These challenges can hinder their participation and advancement in research and academic roles. This disparity persists despite growing awareness and efforts toward equality, affecting the diversity of ideas and innovation within science. Addressing these issues is crucial for fostering a more inclusive environment that can benefit all areas of research and knowledge advancement.
