WOMEN IN SCIENCE
WHY LESS NO OF WOMEN OPT FOR STEM
1. CULTURAL BELIEVE - GIRL IS BORN TO RAISE CHILDREN.
2. PROVE-IT-AGAIN
Having to prove oneself over and over again undermines the woman’s
confidence and ability to move up in the profession
3. Behaviour
“While aggressive behavior from a man would be perceived as the right
touch of leadership, a woman who is aggressive is characterized as ‘angry’
and ‘unfeminine.’
4. Myth ‘ a mother should not try’
5. Isolation I have been the only woman on my faculty for 15 years. It is very
difficult to socialize for different reasons.
6. Girls are not safe in higher education
7. Difficult to find groom for highly educated girl
8. negative stereotypes about their intellectual abilities,
HOW WOMEN CAN BE ENCOURGED TO GO FOR STEM
1.By changing society
2. we believe that parents and educators can help turn things around and close the
gender gaps in STEM
3. Educated women can manage children very well
4. Science help them to make challenges which not only secure them but others
also.
Stereotypes can also be challenged by exposing girls to examples of women who
have succeeded in STEM.
Another strategy is to provide opportunities for girls to succeed at STEM-related
tasks to begin building their confidence.
For example, a teacher might frame a programming assignment as a game instead,
which might help young girls feel more motivated and capable of success.

Sciences
CONCLUTION
Future
In India the social and economic reasons indicate that
participation of no. of women in Science is going to
increase in the coming decades!
Parents and educators are in a great position to help
dispel stereotypes that discourage girls from becoming
scientists. And one of the best ways to do that, we
believe, is to create environments that promote the idea
that science careers are within their reach.
