International Day is celebrated on February 7 with the intention of drawing attention to the importance of women and girls in science and spreading awareness about their contribution.
The United Nations chief mentioned that when this day was celebrated for the first time before 10 years ago, a preliminary fact was adopted: the share of women in the formation of a developed world through science and technology is important.
She said that when she taught the topic of engineering as a teacher, she directly gained the extraordinary talent, creativity and diligence of female scientists.
However, only one third of women in the global scientific community. They do not have adequate financial resources, lack of publication opportunities and their presence in the leadership of the university.
“Women and girls need to climb to high peak to create their career in science, technology, engineering, mathematics (STEM).”
He said that the current situation can be seen in the development of new digital technology. In this case with artificial intelligence, men have dominance at each level. Due to superstition algorithms and inequality related to technology, male dominance in the digital world is at risk of getting air.
According to the United Nations Chief, the more the stems are excluded from the region, our more combined capabilities will be limited to the immediate global challenges. From climate change to food protection, public health and transformation into technology sectors.
Emphasize on equal opportunity
He emphasized that more efforts were needed to give everyone equal opportunity. For this, it will be important to expand the scholarship opportunities, open the door for the internship opportunities for women and girls in the stem and create a workplace attracting women.
Also, from the beginning, girls need to be encouraged to study and write in the stem region. It is also necessary to promote female leaders in the science world through the media and break the sex conservatives.
In September last year, the member states approved a consent letter for the future, which emphasized the complete, equal participation of women and girls in the scientific region.
She said that in the tenth anniversary of this important international day, women and girls need to help prepare a way to create a career in the stem region. They are entitled to it and need them in the world.
