In 2023 we celebrate its 8th anniversary by learning about those women who have opened a path in science for us to follow.
Globally, only 33 per cent of researchers are women, and they are awarded less research funding than men, and are less likely to be promoted. These glaring underrepresentations limit our ability to find inclusive, sustainable solutions to modern problems and build a better society for all.
To raise awareness of the importance of this inclusion of women and girls in STEM , our students in 2º ESO have looked into the lives of some important inspirational women who have become role models for all of us. This year the focus has been put on women scientists who are still alive and come from different continents. Most of them are currently working in their fields of expertise.
Gijón is also an example of how women are underrepresented in the town, as only 5% of our streets are named after a woman.
