It is not just about inclusion and diversity. Encouraging transwomen to pursue STEM fields and careers as scientists is important not only for promoting diversity and inclusion but also for improving the social and economic well-being of trans communities. By providing opportunities for transwomen to excel in STEM, we empower them to access higher-paying and more stable careers, thereby enhancing their financial security and economic independence. This, in turn, contributes to the broader goal of reducing inequalities and fostering a more equitable society where all individuals, regardless of gender identity, can thrive and contribute meaningfully to scientific advancements and economic progress.

Today, we celebrate the UN International Day of Women and Girls in Science – an important date that reminds us of the critical role women and girls play in the fields of science and technology and the continuing need to support gender equality in STEM talent, recruitment and careers. Laura Andrukaitis, a Product Performance Advisor in Finished Lubricants Technology, has a degree in chemistry and a wide range of experience in marine industry issues. She shares insights into her career path and guidance for others looking to follow in her footsteps. “Careers in science are brilliant because they have longevity. You’re at the forefront of discovery, finding solutions to problems that can shape our future. The world will always need scientists.” “Science is fantastic because there are so many paths to pursue. If you’re unsure about which one to follow, ask yourself ‘can I see myself doing this discipline for years to come?’ That’s what I did and I’m still here more than 30 years later.” “Working in science isn’t just about lab work – it’s also about creativity. Keeping pace with rapidly evolving technological innovations is always exciting.” #ExxonMobil #Marine #WomenInScience

According to the UN, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, which was yesterday, is an opportunity to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. Gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls is crucial to economic development. For women to develop, progress, become empowered, and thrive economically and socially, it is essential that more women are given access to ICT and STEM related careers and sectors. Research has shown that women are underrepresented in these sectors, both in South Africa and globally. Today, we look specifically at women in the engineering sector in South Africa. Did you know that only 6% of professional engineers in South Africa are women? Data from the 2021 annual report from the Engineering Council of South Africa (ECSA) shows the stark gender gap in engineering. Women make up 23% of candidate engineers, or engineers in training, and just 5% of candidate-certificate engineers. This shows a dire need to support more women in the sector.

  ATHENA celebrates International Day of Women and Girls in Science   On the occasion of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (February 11), ATHENA is reflecting on the progress made and the challenges that still lie ahead in achieving gender equality in science. On this occasion, the United Nations highlighted the broader importance of women's participation in STEM fields for tackling global challenges outlined in the Agenda for Sustainable Development. From improving health to combating climate change, diverse perspectives are essential. Women and girls bring unique insights, talent, and creativity to the table, enriching the research landscape and driving innovation. Despite the recognition of STEM's significance for national economies, gender equality in these fields remains elusive across most countries. This gap underscores the urgency of concerted efforts to remove barriers and create inclusive environments where women can thrive in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Initiatives like the last ATHENA talk by Mar Fernandez Cendon on 'The illusion of university equality: an approach to the gender gaps in academia' underscores the need for critical discussions and actions to promote equality and diversity. In the talk, various gender gaps in academia and broader were presented, followed by a discussion on how to tackle them. Several concrete actions that universities (and other organisations) can take were presented.   As we celebrate the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let's reaffirm our commitment to fostering gender equality in academia and beyond. It's not only a matter of fairness but also essential for unleashing the full potential of talent and addressing the complex challenges facing our world. #womenandgirlsinscience

STEM AS A CATALYST TO ACCELERATING SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENTS Tackling some of the greatest challenges of the Agenda for Sustainable Development – from improving health to combating climate change – will rely on harnessing all talent. That means getting more women working in these fields. Diversity in research expands the pool of talented researchers, bringing in fresh perspectives, talent and creativity. The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is a reminder that women and girls play a critical role in science and technology and that their participation should be strengthened. Although Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields are widely regarded as critical to national economies, so far most countries, no matter their level of development, have not achieved gender equality in STEM. Having empower over 60 Girls on the subject few days ago, ( https://lnkd.in/dyPtxtZ8 ) it is imperative to inspire the leaders not to pack their bags yet knowing fully you still have more to offer the world.
