Overview

The process of being impartial towards men and women is known as gender equity. It involves strategies and measures which ensure that men and women operate on an equal level, compensating for the disadvantages which women have faced historically. For decades, women have been systematically held back from pursuing higher education in fields such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. This restricts their access, training, and opportunities for entering these fields. Factors such as family expectations, social norms, and gender biases affect the quality of higher education and the subjects that women study. Implementing practices and policies for providing women the accessibility to higher education in fields such as science, technology and engineering can help in attracting and retaining women in these fields. This can also be done by increasing awareness about gender equality, which emphasizes that women and men are equally capable. This book outlines the significance of gender equality in higher education. It will provide comprehensive knowledge to the readers.
