Women Leaders Inspire Future Generations in Aviation

Efforts to boost interest in STEM fields among underrepresented groups, particularly young girls, are critical yet complex. Research indicates that girls often lose interest in math and science by age 15, highlighting a narrow window for engagement. Female role models in aviation and other STEM fields, like Carrie Worth and Kaela Okafor, emphasize the importance of representation and resilience in overcoming gender biases. Meanwhile, young achievers like Ana Seru exemplify how education can transform lives, inspiring others from similar backgrounds. In the UAE, influential women such as Dr. Eng. Suaad Al Shamsi are breaking down barriers in traditionally male-dominated industries, advocating for female empowerment and leadership. Events like Emirati Women’s Day further reinforce the need for collaboration and support among women across various sectors to drive societal change.
