The Usual Multifold Challenge for Women
Recently we celebrated the International Women Engineering Day on 23 June. The purpose of this day is to bring awareness and recognition to the outstanding contributions of women engineers and the challenges they have faced. Women started taking roles in the industry to replace when the men got involved in the military post 1919. Societies like Women’s Engineering Society and Society for Women Engineers have been in place with objectives like:
- supporting women engineers in general
- encouraging women to study engineering and take up engineering careers
- promoting corporate gender diversity
- having a collective voice of women engineers
