Ariana Magazine | Up to Code – Women in STEM
Farzana Aslam quoted in “Up to Code”, p.124 of the inaugural issue of Ariana, a Hong Kong-based magazine bringing light to social justice issues across the globe.
Girls grow up being bombarded with gender stereotypes. This often involves encouraging behaviours that are not necessarily prized in a male-dominated competitive workplace culture, such as humility, deference, kindness, and politeness.
It’s what I call “pinkification.” Although attitudes are changing, historically girls were simply not encouraged – and often discouraged – to pursue STEM subjects. So many girls and women assume that a career in STEM-related industries is either not possible or limited.
