For 25 years the L'Oréal-UNESCO For Women In Science International Awards have recognised and empowered women researchers. It has supported more than 3,900 women in over 116 countries bringing visibility to outstanding women scientists and providing strong role models to girls and young women considering science careers 💪 Only 33% of researchers are women. We cannot afford to deprive ourselves of the talents of half of humanity: women advance science, and science advances the world! | UNESCO

On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, we are imagining what happens when ALL voices in science are included. Today, only 1/3 of scientists are women, and too many girls are still discouraged from pursuing STEM education. 🚀 When more girls participate in science, the world benefits from more innovation, more discoveries, and a stronger future for all. Let’s encourage more girls to pursue a science education. #EveryVoiceInScience #WomenInScience | UNESCO
