International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2026
Tabled 11 February 2026 by Victoria Collins
That this House celebrates the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on Wednesday 11 February 2026; recognises the vital contributions of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics throughout history, including those whose achievements have been overlooked; acknowledges that stereotypes in education, a lack of female role models and systemic biases continue to act as barriers to women's participation and progression in STEM careers; notes the importance of promoting STEM subjects and careers to address these gaps; and urges the Government to continue to support initiatives that widen participations and breakdown barriers to entry in STEM fields for women and girls.
