Report launch: Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges to Greater Gender Equity in STEM

Virtual event
Join us for the launch of the IDRC report entitled Breaking Barriers, Building Bridges: A Southern-led Research Network to Advance Gender Equality in STEM.
Packed with case studies and insights from our network of research partners across Africa and Latin America, the report focuses on identifying and addressing barriers to women's participation and leadership in the fields of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). It particularly examines the factors contributing to high rates of incompletion and dropout among these groups.
The findings align with UNESCO's Call to Action to Close the Gender Gap in Science, bringing research-driven perspectives from the Global South to this important global movement.
Join our virtual launch event to hear directly from women scientists who contributed to the report and explore evidence-based solutions that reflect the realities of women in low- and middle-income countries. Let’s work together to create more equitable science systems that benefit everyone.
