NGO CSW65 Parallel Event – Empowering Women in STEM is Essential for Achieving the UN SDGs
March 20 @ 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm

The International Network for Women Engineers and Scientists (INWES), the World Federation of Engineering Organizations (WFEO) and the International Science Council (ISC) together represent women in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) across 100 nations.
Join us to discuss why it is important to empower women to take part in all areas of STEM. Gender equality is essential for business growth, for innovation, for the knowledge economy, for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
The talks in this CSW65 Parallel Event will cover the diversity imperative; the gender gap in mathematical, computing and natural sciences; developing capacities in Africa; and leadership. These will be followed by a moderated discussion session. You are encouraged to bring your questions, your experiences, your ideas to share.
This event is free to attend.
