  • When you search International Day of Women and Girls in Science, the knowledge panel on Google calls it a "celebration" of women in STEM, but in 2025 it's far from a jubilant affair. A concerted push from the Trump administration to remove DEI initiatives is quickly sidelining women in science and technology.

The article from PCMag discusses the grim reality surrounding the International Day of Women and Girls in Science, highlighting the persistent gender disparities in STEM fields. Despite the day's intent to celebrate and promote women in science, the article points out that women still face significant barriers including lower pay, fewer opportunities for advancement, and a lack of representation in leadership roles. It references a UNESCO report indicating that women make up only 33% of researchers globally, and even less in certain regions. The piece also touches on the broader societal issues like the rollback of women's rights in various countries, which further complicates the path for women in science. The article calls for more than just symbolic recognition; it urges for systemic changes to address these inequalities, emphasizing the need for equal pay, better representation, and supportive policies to truly empower women and girls in science.
