Statement of the United Nations Secretary-General on International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026; February 11th.

  Equality in the sciences is essential for humanity’s progress. Despite advances in access to education, women in STEM are still held back by a lack of research funding, gender stereotypes, and discriminatory workplace practices. Globally, only one in three researchers is female. This gap is particularly pronounced in the realm of technology, with women representing just 26% of the workforce in data and artificial intelligence. The absence of female voices embeds biases into digital tools and leads to real world harm. Excluding women from science weakens our collective capacity to address urgent global challenges, from climate change to public health to space security. That’s why the UNITED NATIONS  supports women and girls in STEM across multiple disciplines. Let us ensure that women and girls can realise their scientific ambitions — for their rights, and for the benefit of all. United Nations Decretary-General; Mr. Antonio Guterres .

Women and girls in science: Dismantling barriers, closing gender gaps.

Image
Across the world, a significant gender gap persists at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines due to lack of research funding, gender stereotypes, and discriminatory workplace practices. The United Nations ecretary-General; Mr. António Guterres said the gap is particularly pronounced in technology, where women represent just 26 per cent of the workforce in data and artificial intelligence, and 12 per cent in cloud computing. “ Excluding women from science weakens our collective capacity to address urgent global challenges, from climate change to public health to space security, ” he warned. UNICEF is working on expanding STEM education for girls in rural areas. As societies continue to grapple with widening inequalities, the UN believes that the integration of artificial intelligence (AI), social science, STEM and finance provides a way to accelerate inclusive and sustainable development. The approach is being highlighted on the Internation...
