Women have led ground-breaking research into public health, vaccines, treatments and innovative technology, and been on the front lines of COVID-19 response as scientists, health care workers and more.
Yet, the gender gap in science and technology holds women back. According to UNESCO’s forthcoming Science Reportonly 33 per cent of researchers are women, despite the fact that they represent 45 and 55 per cent of students at the Bachelor’s and Master’s levels of study respectively, and 44 per cent of those enrolled in PhD programmes.
It’s more important than ever to recognize women’s contributions in science, smash stereotypes and defeat discrimination against women and girls in science.
In order to celebrate this important day and to promote STEM varied activities and projects are taking place in class in order to encourage students to “meet” great female scientists and be inspired by them.
