Many of us already celebrate International Women’s Day on March 8th, but did you know that the whole month of March is Women’s History Month? It’s an opportunity to recognize women’s contributions to society throughout history, as well as a time to reflect on progress that still needs to be made. 

This year’s theme focuses on the importance of challenging gender bias, whether that’s in the workplace, education, healthcare, or anywhere it might occur. In discussions about bias, it’s important to include a range of voices: the Boclips library of videos from over 250 global content partners is a great place to explore these perspectives. In this post, we’re sharing some top videos on gender bias and its effects.

6- Are women bad at science? by Neuro Transmissions 

If you scroll through lists of STEM faculty members at most universities, it's likely you'll recognize a pattern...that is, a lot of men and not very many women. Why is that? Are men inherently better than women at science? Or is there something else going on? Well strap in because we're about to find out!

 

In many places, legislation and attitudes towards gender equality have improved. But there’s still a lot of work for us all to do, to ensure that bias is eliminated in practice.
