“I am proud to announce the Iron Sisters Campaign, a movement that will bring together women from around the world who are pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering, mathematics, (STEM) and business to support each other — learn from each other, encourage each other, and celebrate each other’s success to pave the way for future generations of women to succeed in these fields. Working together — Iron Sisters — we can eliminate the stereotypes and remove the barriers that discourage girls and young women from entering STEM fields, and we can create a culture in which women in STEM businesses are supported and celebrated. The need for this effort is obvious. Even though girls are just as good as boys at STEM subjects, boys are three times more likely than girls to express an interest in STEM careers.”(more)
