STEM GENDER EQUITY POEM
"There's need to make science, mathematics and technology courses female friendly. It has been often articulated during conferences and seminars that in India, there is a severe under-representation of women in both science and technology education and employment. Also, the main reason attributed to such a situation is that the gender roles were quite entrenched in society and women are deemed fit for professions like teaching, nursing and medicine, but never for hard science and technolog< wrote this blogger on merinews.com in 2015, while emphasising the need for gender equity in STEM education,
STEM GENDER EQUITY POEM INSPIRED BY THE ARTCLE
Let minds bloom, bright and wide,
In science, tech, and math's great tide.
No girl held back, no boy in shade,
A fair field, where dreams are made.
Let balance grow, a steady hand,
Across the STEM, throughout the land.
With equal steps, we'll reach the height,
And fill the world with knowledge bright.
Let doors swing wide, for every curious soul,
In STEM's grand quest, to reach a common goal.
No barriers stand, in learning's open space,
For every talent, time and rightful place.
Diversity's the strongest art,
Playing an essential part.
Let curious hearts all take a stand,
And build a future, hand in hand.
In Summary
Kishore (2026) advocates for gender equity in STEM by promoting a shift from competitive, male-coded frameworks to cooperative, inclusive learning environments. The work specifically calls for feminizing curricula and fostering supportive pedagogy to remove structural biases and make science and math more accessible to female learners. He argues for shifting to inclusive, non-competitive learning environments that recognize diverse, often collaborative learning styles to support women in hard technologies
