On this webpage you will find a collection of initiatives that demonstrate how we keep Equity, Diversity and Inclusion (ED&I) high on our agenda. In addition to rolling out relevant policies, each year we award a fund to the best initiatives. You will also find links to relevant ¹û¶³´«Ã½ news items. Finally, you can read more about the roles and members of our D&I Committee

Mothers in Science is an international nonprofit organisation registered in France (NËš W343028090) founded by Isabel Torres and Sonal Bhadane in 2019. Our multinational team of 16 professionals in science, technology, engineering, mathematics and medicine (STEMM) is based around the world, including France, US, Canada, Singapore, Portugal, UK, Nigeria, Finland, Germany, Brazil and New Zealand.
We are the leading global nonprofit advocating for mothers in STEMM and creating evidence-based solutions to promote workplace equity and inclusion of parents and caregivers. Our rapidly growing organisation represents thousands of students and professional women in STEMM around the world from many fields and employment sectors.

We want a world where people of every gender can pursue their dreams without bias or other barriers holding them back. Where girls grow up to be confident, resilient leaders. Where more women run companies and countries. We are driven by the belief our society and economy would be better if women and girls were valued as equal to men and boys.

The world is at a turning point. People everywhere understand and support the idea of gender equality. They know it’s not just a women’s issue, it’s a human rights issue. HeForShe is an invitation for men and people of all genders to stand in solidarity with women to create a bold, visible and united force for gender equality. The men of HeForShe aren’t on the sidelines. They’re working with women and with each other to build businesses, raise families, and give back to their communities.

Why are there so many fewer women in STEM occupations than their male counterparts? Especially since, according to the , girls are actually just as good at math as boys in eighth grade tests, and actually perform better than boys in science and engineering. It comes down to identity and confidence, and this resource will provide you with the ability to help build a girls’ STEM identity from adolescence to adulthood.
Women in STEM jobs are increasing in numbers, but there is still a long way to go for equity. Keeping young girls engaged in science, technology, engineering and math from a young age, and avoiding the typical ‘drop off’ that happens to girls around the world in STEM will create a more equitable STEM workforce.
