VOICED : Women engineers : a long way to equality

The video discusses the gender disparity in engineering schools, where only 15% of students are female. Despite often outperforming male peers, women face challenges due to societal norms and lack of early exposure to technical subjects. Efforts are being made to attract more women to engineering, with companies actively seeking female engineers. However, challenges like sexism and wage imbalances persist. Notably, only 20% of French engineers are women, and fewer women are seen in higher corporate positions. The video concludes with a hopeful note on future gender balance, as large companies will soon be required to have 40% female board members.
