Even in Canada where women have equal access to education, there are still gaps in the number of women entering educational programs and jobs in the maths and sciences. In
undergraduate post-secondary institutions in Canada, women make up just 39 % of
students in math and physical sciences and only 17% in engineering and computer
science (http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/education/educators-still-trying-to-attract-more-women-to-technology-science-fields/article20955071/).
What you can do: encourage the girls you know to take math and science
