Science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the  
internationally agreed development goals, including the 2030 Agenda  
for Sustainable Development. Over the past 15 years, the global  
community has made a lot of effort in inspiring and engaging women and  
girls in science. Unfortunately, women and girls continued to be  
excluded from participating fully in science. According to a study  
conducted in 14 countries, the probability for female students of  
graduating with a Bachelor’s degree, Master’s degree and Doctor’s  
degree in science-related field are 18%, 8% and 2% respectively, while  
the percentages of male students are 37%, 18% and 6%.
In order to achieve full and equal access to and participation in  
science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and  
the empowerment of women and girls, the United Nations General  
Assembly adopted resolution A/RES/70/212 (draft A/70/474/Add.2)  
declaring 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in  
Science.
