![Sketch of a woman scientist looking through a microscope with various symbols to represent STEM and the following text:
On this day we celebrate the continuous efforts, resilience and achievements of women and girls in STEM.
It’s a day to remind us that there still remain significant gaps for girls and women in STEM fields and to actively think about what actions we can take to narrow these gaps.
According to global and regional trends for women in STEM 2025, women represented only 33% of the global research workforce. And many disciplines within STEM, such as engineering (18%) and computer science (20%), have much lower representation of women compared to, for example, life sciences (50%) [Women in STEM network, 2025]
In 2025, it was calculated that women in the UK got paid 83p for every pound men got paid (median hourly earning) [Women in STEM network, 2025].
Did you know that women with established careers in academia are 2x likelier to abandon their career compared to men? This decision is often the result of a toxic work environment and lack of support when challenging the status quo [https://doi.org/10.1016/j.it.2024.05.004]. There are also many examples of women entering the STEM fields, but then end up leaving due to negative experiences, biases and job rejections.
What are some of the things you can do?
-Provide a supportive environment at work and call out biases
-Form/join a committee within your organisation aimed to support and promote gender equity
-Join supportive communities (Women in STEM Network, Women in STEM, STEM Women, Women in Malaria, Herminthology, Women in Parasitology, Mothers in academia, Mama is an academic, For women in science, etc.)
-Provide mentorship or seek mentorship as a mentee
In the end we want to take the opportunity to thank our wonderful WiM community for sharing our goal of gender equity in science (and beyond) and for driving forward our mission. Let's keep creating and fighting for a fair environment!

"Women, therefore, who have taken up any branch of science, or indeed work of any kind, need not be discouraged in it even if 1 or 2 of the great mass which makes up the whole in their superior judgment refuse to give credit to their work." Williamina Fleming, 1893.

Drawing of Irene Fuji, waist up, wearing her old scientist uniform. She has stopped working to be the Resistance's Strategist. You can read the book Resistance:Escape for free on bio. She has brown eyes and long, wavy-brown hair which she has half-up on a ponytail. She has a short black and white jacket, a tight black shirt and black and white dress piece (barely visible) The style is anime and the background is blue and green in a grid. There's also text: Happy Int. Day of Women in Science <3 Feb 11th
Happy Int. Day of Women in Science! To celebrate I drew Irene in her old scientist uniform <3
