⚙ Women are vastly underrepresented in engineering roles, making up only 13% of workers in these fields 📈 Progress in increasing the overall percentage of women in engineering roles has been slow, with an average increase of only 1% every two years ✋ Approximately 73% of female engineers have experienced some form of discrimination, harassment, or victimization at work International Women's Day is a day to celebrate the achievements of women but also to raise awareness of the work we still need to do to achieve equality. At Diversify the Future, our mission is to support the future of STEM talent, helping students from communities underrepresented in STEM to access STEM degree programs. #internationalwomensday #iwd2024 #diversifythefuture
