Women outside science

Seema Singh, in this excellent post, opines that women continue to struggle as science falters and remains gendered:

Look at the numbers from UNESCO Institute of Statistics: The global average of women in science is 27%, for Asia it’s 15%. But India has just 10% women researchers; by contrast, in Latin America 46% of researchers are women. In Southeast Asia, women constitute 40% of the workforce in science but with huge variations across the region: It’s 55% in Philippines, 85% in Myanmar, and 12% in Japan.
