Women In Science And Technology fields

According to UNESCO data, less than 30% of researchers in the world are women, this data reflects the working conditions of these women in the public or private sector, in addition to their fields of research, there is a large gender gap in this field, and reducing this gap needs to strive To get past these hard numbers and identify the qualitative factors that prevent women from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM), several studies have found that women in sciences publish less research, get paid less for their research and don't advance as much as men in their careers. However, there is very little data that shows and explains these disparities at the international level, or even at the country level.

In response, UNESCO is developing a series of new indicators on the dynamics shaping women's decisions to pursue careers in the various fields of science, from their educational trajectories to contributing social factors, such as family conditions, work environment and location, and these data will be used. As an evidence base for improving policy targeting at the national, regional and global levels, through a new project known as SAGA, it aims to make progress in bridging the gender gap in science through SAGA.

Recognizing the role of women and girls in the fields of science, not only as beneficiaries, but as essential agents in positive societal change processes, which prompted the international community to involve women and girls in the various fields of science, as science and gender equality are among the essential factors in achieving the goals sustainable development by 2030, which are the global goals adopted by world leaders in 2015.

According to the UN website, "Women's careers tend to be shorter and less paid, their work does not appear sufficiently in high profile magazines, and they are often overlooked for promotion."
