Women have got more freedom to express themselves and take active part in the development of technologies, despite the fact that there are still problems in this sphere. Despite efforts to give women greater access to education in science and technology in some countries, the research shows they are still significantly under-represented in many degree programs, especially in engineering, physics and computer science. But even with improved access to science and technology education.
