According to data disclosed by the United Nations Educational, Scientific, and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), the representation of women in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) field in Nepal is noticeably low, accounting for only 7.8% of the workforce. The significant gender gap in this industry can be attributed to several factors, such as gender predispositions, limited female role models, inadequate opportunities for networking and capacity-building, and deficient national policies that cater to women’s needs. 

To react to this critical issue, a group has emerged with a strong objective and vision to empower and stimulate more girls and women to pursue careers in STEM fields in Nepal. By doing this, the group hopes to establish the foundation for a fair and comprehensive workforce, where men and women can work together to achieve greater success. 

The support of women in STEM industries is fundamental to our nation’s progress, and we aim to utilize every resource available to enhance their voice and contribute to the nation’s growth.
