Why involving more girls, women in science is the smart thing to do
It is not enough to encourage girls to study science; we must also ensure that they have equal opportunities to thrive and lead in their chosen science fields of practice.
As the world commemorates the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science this month, it is key that we enhance the efforts made so far and accelerate progress towards a truly equitable future for all genders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields and professions.
The United Nation's designation of this day (February 11) is a reminder of the critical importance of achieving gender parity in scientific research, innovation, and technological advancement, which is intrinsically linked to realising the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
