Women in Science and Engineering

Women in Science and Engineering refers to the participation, contributions, and representation of women in fields such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Historically, women have been underrepresented in these areas due to various social, cultural, and institutional barriers. Promoting their involvement is crucial for achieving diversity, driving innovation, and ensuring that diverse perspectives inform scientific and technological advancements. Initiatives to support women in STEM often include mentorship programs, scholarships, and advocacy for equitable hiring practices, fostering a more inclusive environment that empowers women to excel in their fields.
