Girls in STEMM

Girls in STEMM aims to close the gender gap in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics, and Medicine) fields by encouraging girls to participate
in STEMM subjects from an early age, show them how STEMM is applied in practice, and introduce them to successful women in these fields

Women in STEMM Today

Women are outnumbered by men in STEMM subjects in college.
Only 28% of STEMM jobs are occupied by women despite being 50% of the workforce.
3% of STEMM industry CEOs are women.
Diversity enhances creative problem-solving and innovation.
We need more women scientists, engineers, and mathematicians to tackle today’s global challenges like curing cancer, developing renewable energies, and solving climate change.
