The US Government recognizes that there is a significant gender gap in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields worldwide. It would like to stimulate the next generation of women leaders by providing them access and opportunity to advance their careers, pursue their dreams, and become role models for women and girls in their communities.
