How
to get more women in the field of science? Some suggestions are provided here:
- Encourage girls from
early age: It is essential to
encourage girls from an early age to pursue STEM (Science, Technology,
Engineering, & Mathematics) related fields. Parents, teachers, and
society must introduce and highlight the importance and opportunities of
science and technology to girls.
- Ensure gender
equality: Gender equality
should be promoted in schools and work places to encourage women to pursue
STEM careers. Female students must be provided with the same
opportunities, facilities, and support as male students.
- Provide role-models: Women role models in STEM must be promoted
and highlighted so that girls and women can be inspired.
- Create supportive
environments: Universities and
companies must create appropriate environments and supportive systems for
women in science. Women should be given equal opportunities, support, and
recognition and their work should be acknowledged in the industry.
- Challenge stereotypes: Stereotypes about gender roles and ability
must the challenged. Both girls and boys should be introduced to the idea
that science and math are not male dominated subjects.
- Expand STEM education: Governments should help to ensure that STEM
is an essential part of education and curriculum in schools at all levels.
It will create awareness and interest in the subjects and inspire more
girls to opt for STEM careers.
