Conclusion

The gender gap in STEM is a complex issue that requires comprehensive solutions. 

Role models and mentoring are two powerful tools in bridging this gap by providing inspiration, support, and practical guidance to young women. 

By seeing women succeed in STEM careers and receiving mentorship from experienced professionals, women and girls are more likely to pursue, persist, and thrive in these fields. 

Organizations like Women for Europe play a crucial role in this effort, working to ensure that women have the role models and mentors they need to succeed in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Through these initiatives, we can move closer to a future where the gender gap in STEM is closed, and women have equal opportunities to contribute to innovation and progress in these critical fields.
