UNESCO warned that inequalities between boys and girls in the fields of science and technology are still very large, despite the efforts made.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) warned that there is still a very large gap for the opportunities that girls are given in the fields of study of science and technology.
Most of the obstacles girls have to study are socio-economic and cultural. Science, mathematics and the technological field continue to be a privileged field for men: only 35% of students are women, and the gap is a problem that comes from childhood.
The social and cultural norms in which girls grow make them think that these martyrdoms correspond exclusively to the masculine field. But that is not the most serious thing: girls believing that their abilities are inferior to those of men.
For UNESCO, it is vital that increasing the ideology of gender equality from the time children are young to reverse this gap.
