๐บ๐ Breaking Barriers: Empowering Women in STEM! ๐๐ฌ
Despite efforts to promote diversity, women are still underrepresented in STEM fields. We must do more to create an inclusive and supportive environment for aspiring female professionals like you in tech, development, and engineering. ๐ ๏ธ๐ก
While we’ve seen progress in getting more girls interested in STEM subjects, the numbers show that we need to address the gender gap further. Women hold only 28% of computer and mathematical jobs and a mere 15.9% in engineering and architecture professions.
The glass ceiling is evident, with few women CEOs and founders in tech. ๐ผ๐ Pay disparities persist, with men earning an average of $15,000 more annually than their female counterparts. And during tech layoffs, nearly 70% of those affected were women.
It’s time to turn the tide! ๐ Studies reveal that women-led companies often outperform male-led ones. Let’s encourage more investors to back women-founded startups and businesses, ensuring a high return on investment.
Crowdfunding platforms offer opportunities for women entrepreneurs to thrive, but we must go beyond that. Let’s dismantle barriers and systems that keep women from leadership positions and entrepreneurship. Organisations must actively push for diversity at the top, making it clear that women are needed in these roles.
We’re committed to guiding women into thriving STEM careers, offering a strong and long-term career path. Together, we can create a virtuous cycle of diversity and equity, benefiting everyone in tech, engineering, and science. ๐ค๐ซ
