| Abstract | "Despite recent advancements, gender disparities in STEM disciplines remain a major concern worldwide, particularly in Africa. This book focuses on empowering women in STEM to highlight the barriers they face in accessing and excelling in these areas, as well as proposing concrete solutions to bridge this gap. Africa possesses a vast pool of untapped STEM talent, especially among women and this book aims to support women in entering and thriving in STEM careers by providing opportunities and support, leading to a more diverse and dynamic workforce. This book can educate stakeholders and policymakers on the importance of funding programs that promote gender equality and women's participation in STEM fields. By offering evidence-based recommendations, the book can influence policy decisions aimed at creating more inclusive and supportive environments for women in STEM education and professions"-- Provided by publisher. |
