"Today a wealth of scientific data exists about gender inequality in academia. This is particularly dismaying when girls who not only outnumber but also perform better at school than boys, are not in employment positions due to cultural norms and unconscious bias among adults, who don’t see women in an equal foothold to that of men."

~ Shuvangi Khadka 

The problem is not going to go away just because the privileged want to ignore the unhealthy norms, such as:

"organisational tolerance for sexual harassment and male-dominated environments."
