It discusses the ongoing gender disparities, with women making up only 28% of the workforce in these areas despite comprising 50% of the global population. The piece features stories of successful women in STEM, like Dr. Sarah Kessans, a New Zealand biochemist, and Dr. Maggie Aderin-Pocock, a British space scientist, who serve as role models.

The article emphasizes the importance of initiatives aimed at increasing female representation in STEM, promoting education, and fostering environments where women can thrive and contribute significantly to scientific advancements.
