In this episode of Africa Science Focus, we delve into the hurdles that women on the African continent experience while attempting to pursue careers in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM).

Long-standing gender stereotypes and the burden of unpaid labour are just some of the factors that feed into the underrepresentation of women in these sectors.

Our reporter Michael Kaloki spoke with some African female scientists who described the problems women face in STEM fields and shared their ideas about how to bridge the gender gap.

This piece was produced by SciDev.Net’s Sub-Saharan Africa English desk.
