      The main goal of the UN General Assembly is to promote gender equality and the rights of women and girls, ensuring full and equal access and participation of women and girls in science.

      – Over the past 15 years, a lot of work has been done around the world to attract more women to science. However, their number is not growing. According to official data, the share of women scientists in the world is 28.4%. Most of them are bachelors and masters. And the number of PhDs is much smaller. Our task is to increase this, – say the representatives of the world organization.

      This day is a reminder that women and girls play an important role in the scientific and technological community and their participation must be increased.
