UNESCO has a key role to play in taking up these issues and in promoting women and girls in and for science. To support these efforts, the STEM and Gender Advancement (SAGA) project provides tools to help reduce the current global gender gap in science and increase the visibility, participation and recognition of women’s contributions to science while exploring good practices from countries around the world.
This publication provides answers to three important questions: Where do we stand? Why is it important to bridge the gender gap in science technology and innovation? How can we bridge this gap?
Video: Why support women and girls in science and technology?
Despite progress in ensuring opportunities for women in STEM fields, women and girls continue to be systematically underrepresented as users and leaders in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
In order to achieve the sustainable development goals, we need to ensure full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.
