Women in STEM Fields

Women in STEM fields—science, technology, engineering, and mathematics—refer to female professionals and students engaged in these critically important areas. Despite progress, women are historically underrepresented in many STEM professions due to systemic barriers, bias, and societal expectations. Encouraging increased participation of women fosters diverse perspectives, innovation, and solutions to complex problems. Supportive educational environments, mentorship, and policy changes are essential to promote gender equality and ensure women have equal opportunities to contribute meaningfully to STEM advancements.
