Historically black women has been underrepresented in STEM courses at university as well as in STEM careers many women in the field struggle against the perception of working in a biased environment.

From our #BeMedigitalinclusion program the women told us that most of them in STEM careers leave their jobs because they feel underpaid and underrepresented. The #BeMedigitalinclusion mentoring program aims to close the digital skills gap and prepare global majority women and girls for the future of work.
