Women in West Midlands face significant gaps in HIV prevention measures
A recent report highlights a significant gender gap in HIV prevention efforts across the West Midlands, with women disproportionately affected. Although women account for 42% of new HIV diagnoses in the region, only 3% of them are using prevention methods like pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP), which ... [More info]
Very glad to finally see this issue being addressed in a major publication. The headline is a little confusing. It’s not about engineering, it’s about all disciplines.
Even as we have made gains getting women into post secondary now young men are not coming, aside from a few specific traditional areas. Especially in Arts and Humanities, there is a huge gap. I see it every day at my university.
We need to reverse this. We need men and women in every field and discipline. We need men and women learning critical thinking, learning history, learning biology, learning engineering, together, collaboratively, in ways that speak to all genders.
I blame a large part of the gap on a notion that is still perpetuated by both regular people and government, that “trades gets u a job” with implicit and explicit bias toward those trades being male dominated. The manosphere often degrades traditional “thinking” degrees as not masculine enough.. or have been “woke” and a threat to stereotypical male roles. Plus there remain biases against teaching and healthcare as “women’s” work in those influential spheres, and not helped by general society either.
TLDR: we just need to stop devaluing post-secondary every other moment of the day and make it free and easy for absolutely anyone to walk in and expand their minds!

Trong 70 năm qua, Việt Nam chỉ có 3 nữ giáo sư Toán học: Hoàng Xuân Sính, Lê Thị Thanh Nhàn và Tạ Thị Hoài An. Dù là ngành "hot" nhưng Toán học vẫn thiếu vắng ứng viên nữ đạt chuẩn giáo sư. #ToánHọc #GiáoDục #NữGiáoViên #STEM #GenderGap #BìnhĐẳngGiới #KhoaHọcViệtNam

Từ đợt phong giáo sư, phó giáo sư đầu tiên năm 1956 đến nay, Việt Nam chỉ có 3 nữ giáo sư toán học: Hoàng Xuân Sính, Lê Thị Thanh Nhàn và Tạ Thị Hoài An. Dù là ngành được coi là 'hot', toán học lại hiếm ứng viên nữ đạt chuẩn giáo sư.
Frauen gründen mehr: Wie gezielte Kommunikation die Gründungslust steigert
Die Gründungsquote von Frauen in Deutschland ist 2024 auf Rekordniveau gestiegen. Dennoch bleibt der Gendergap deutlich.
Gezielt an Gründerinnen gerichtete, gendersensible Kommunikation und flexible Beratungsangebote gelten laut GEM-Bericht als Schlüssel, um noch mehr Frauen für Unternehmertum zu gewinnen.

And the problem is that the young blokes see they can get a high school diploma without any G12 science or math then go into the trades or just go work construction. That 30$/hour seems like a fortune when you are 20 YO. Then you wake up and you're 45, a family and mortgage and blame the government because youre still making $30/hour.
Then you join a convoy, follow a right wing leader promising a revolution, and everything just falls to shit. And its all because you didnt want to take pre-calc in high school...
But I digress...
(And were encouraged not too)
@chris @josie_osborne
Yes thats right. Back in the day we were encouraged, almost coerced, into getting a higher education. But somehow, perhaps due to the shortage of construction labour, the message has changed.
That said the cost of post secondary in Canada is now about eight times what it was in the 1980s. So this does not help given that wages have definitely not increased by a factor of 8.
I remember tuition for Engineering at the University of Manitoba in 1975 was around $600. Using the Bank of Canada’s inflation calculator that works out to about $3350 now.
Checking the U of M’s website, the 2025 tuition for a BSc in Engineering is $19,300.
@Sanderde @sleepy62 @josie_osborne my son just started engineering at Carleton we looked at Dalhousie and McGill and UofT. I had a spreadsheet of course. :)
Year 1 was basically $15,000 for tuition and the same for housing.
$3500 doesn’t even cover the cost for a year at a small university for my daughter. $5000 pursuing Anthropology at VIU
@chris @Sanderde @josie_osborne
I have also just been through that exercise. Most universities have handy fee estimator tools on line. Seems like Carlton is considerably higher than UVIC or UBC for Engineering, but similar cost of BSc. What I can for sure is that the UVic numbers are accurate as we just ponied up the fees for the first semester.
