Organisation for Women in Science promotes gender equity

The Organisation for Women in Science for the Developing World Botswana (OWSD-BW) chapter has highlighted the need to promote gender equity, diversity, and inclusivity in education, research, and innovation. Speaking at the event held yesterday at Travel Lodge, Motlalepula Tait from OWSD-BW emphasised the critical need for integrating the above mentioned principles into education and research institutions.

“The OWSD-BW chapter finds it essential to address issues of diversity, particularly gender diversity, with a focus on marginalized groups who contribute significantly to innovation and research,” Tait said. She underscored that true progress can only be achieved when every voice is heard. “People should feel free to raise their voices to advocate for inclusivity, gender diversity, and equity,” she urged.
