In the world of STEM, there are ample opportunities for innovation and growth, yet we as women face unique challenges. I believe that with the right support and strategies, women in STEM can overcome these obstacles and lead transformative change. Here's how women in technical roles can advocate for greater workplace equity: 🦋Support Each Other: Building a network of allies enhances our collective strength. 🦋Raise Awareness: Educate others about the challenges and opportunities for women in STEM. 🦋Push for Equity: Work towards an inclusive environment that promotes advancement for all. Together, we can reshape the future of STEM, turning challenges into opportunities for impactful change. Let's use our voices to drive this change! 💪🏾Our voices are powerful—let's make them heard! 📢 #WomenInSTEM #Advocacy #Leadership #EquityInSTEM

"So where's the National Men's Hall of Fame?" I've heard this question -- and flavors of it -- countless times in the past three years. Very rarely does the tone imply genuine curiosity. More often, it's said with sarcasm. (And it may surprise you that most of the time, the question comes from a woman - that's a post for another day.) This morning, for the first time, it was a reporter who asked me this question during a live radio interview. I took a deep breath and leaned in. Unlike for-profit entities, the ultimate goal for many nonprofits isn't perpetual existence; it's about solving the very problems that made their formation necessary. Despite all the progress made since the first Women's Rights Convention in Seneca Falls in 1848, women have not achieved gender equity. 👩💼 Women make up 60% of America’s workforce. And yet, women hold only 26% of executive positions in the US. Only 5% of executives are women of color. 🔭 Women make up only 28% of the workforce in STEM fields. 💸 Women are still paid less than men, and the pay gap worsens with age. In entry and mid-career positions, women earn 16 percent less than men. The gender gaps are particularly high in some of the fastest-growing and highest-paid jobs of the future, like computer science and engineering. 🗽 The United States has more than 4,500 public statues honoring men. And just 400 statues representing women. 🆘 Less than 2% of all giving in this nation is directed towards women and girls’ causes. Organizations like the National Women’s Hall of Fame shine a spotlight on people and contributions to society that would otherwise be overlooked, forgotten, or misrepresented; together, we promote a more equitable and inclusive world. Our work is not about excluding men, quite the contrary! It's about raising awareness that representation matters and greatness has no gender, color, age, or income level. #equity #women
