Women in Research

The year 2025 marks two important anniversaries: 10 years of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGS) and 30 years of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action, both focused on gender equality and women's empowerment.

Even though gender equality in science is essential for a better future, women and girls still face many obstacles and biases when pursuing scientific careers.

To close this gap, we need to break stereotypes, highlight inspiring role models, support women's progress with special programs, and create inclusive spaces through policies that promote diversity and fairness.

The "Women in Research" series by UK Research and Innovation (UKRI) showcases inspiring stories of women across various fields of research and innovation. These narratives highlight their contributions, challenges, and achievements, aiming to promote diversity and encourage more women to pursue careers in science and research. The series includes interviews and features on platforms like YouTube, where viewers can learn about the journeys of these remarkable women.
