Disparity and causalities of gender equity in stem: An Indian Perspective
Gender equality implies that men and women have equal opportunities in education, career growth, financial independence and political empowerment. Guaranteeing rights of women and providing avenues is critical for attaining equity. Major problems faced by them are security, motherhood, family responsibility and self-imposed gender subordination. Women have fewer opportunities for economic participation than men, less access to basic and higher education, greater health and safety risks, less visibility at the higher positions and less political representation/leadership.
