The review intended to evaluate knowledge about these barriers and benchmark approaches to gender equity. It also sought to identify intersectional influences, analyse cultural plus institutional roles, with a comparison of regional trends in female STEM participation. Sixty-nine studies underwent systematic analysis including varied global contexts with methodologies examining social norms, educational structures, economic constraints, intersectionality, and intervention effectiveness. Findings reveal that secured social as well as cultural norms critically limit women’s STEM engagement because these norms include stereotypes along with family responsibilities educational barriers impede enrollment plus retention because these barriers are biased curricula together with a lack of role models economic factors restrict career progression because these factors include wage gaps in addition to workplace discrimination and intersectional identities exacerbate challenges particularly for women of colour plus marginalized groups. Though promising, mentorship and policy reforms require rigid longitudinal evaluation. Disparities of the regional kind are highlighting obstacles of context. These findings underscore the complex multifactorial nature of barriers that obstruct women’s full participation in STEM and digital literacy. The review stresses the need of intersectional strategies that are evidence-based along with systemic reforms so as to foster environments that are inclusive for educational reasons and professional reasons, and it informs research that is future-based in addition to policy that is aimed at advancing equity in gender in STEM fields all over the world.</span></em></p> <p> </p> </div> |
