The motion

That this House celebrates the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on Wednesday 11 February 2026; recognises the vital contributions of women in science, technology, engineering and mathematics throughout history, including those whose achievements have been overlooked; acknowledges that stereotypes in education, a lack of female role models and systemic biases continue to act as barriers to women's participation and progression in STEM careers; notes the importance of promoting STEM subjects and careers to address these gaps; and urges the Government to continue to support initiatives that widen participations and breakdown barriers to entry in STEM fields for women and girls.
