双语：阿祖莱、恩格库卡2019年妇女和女童参与科学国际日致辞(3)

令人遗憾的是，有证据表明，在理工类重要岗位上工作的女性，目前面临着留岗、晋升以及产后再融入困难等问题。例如，世界经济论坛《2018年全球性别差距报告》显示，全球人工智能专业人员中只有22%是女性：这一巨大的性别差距反映了职业隔离和不利工作条件等重大问题。

In addition to addressing these barriers, improving digital connectivity and the accessibility of affordable technology can also ensure greater equality in STEM fields, enabling women and girls to benefit fully as scientists, students and citizens.
除了消除这些障碍外，改善数字连通性并提供负担得起的技术，也可以确保STEM领域更加性别平等，使妇女和女孩能够作为科学家、学生和公民充分受益。
UN Women and UNESCO are working with partners around the world to close the gender gap in STEM fields and digital technologies.
联合国妇女署和教科文组织正在与世界各地的伙伴合作，以弥合STEM领域和数字技术领域的性别鸿沟。
One way that UN Women engages is through the Women’s Empowerment Principles. These principles offer companies – including those in digital sectors, Information and Communication Technology, Science Technology and Innovation and STEAM (STEM, plus Art & Design) – concrete guidance on empowering women in the workplace, marketplace and community. UN Women calls upon all companies who want to make the commitment to gender equality and women’s economic empowerment to sign and implement these principles.
