From the earliest times women made significant contributions
to the science. In several early civilizations women's participation in the
field of medicine occurred. In the eighteenth century, while gender roles were
largely defined, women experienced great advances in science.
In one country, a scientific or technological field may be deemed' unwomanly'
or may be enjoyed in a given period; many women may enjoy participation in a
different historical time or in another country. An example is engineering
which is considered the exclusive domain of men in many countries.
Women advocating for women are so important in all fields,
but particularly those still dominated by males. Women academics, especially
once well established, have a responsibility to address stereotypes to not only
ensure gender equality but also to enhance the employability and career
progression of our female researchers.

It also shows the extent to which these women work in the
public, private or academic sectors, as well as their fields of research. But
to truly reduce the gender gap, we must go beyond the hard numbers and identify
the qualitative factors that deter women from pursuing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Numerous studies have found that
women publish less in STEM fields, are paid less for their work and are not
advancing in their professions as far as men do.
Our 2nd International Conference on Women’s Health,
Reproduction and Fertility
which is going to be held during March 16-17, 2020 in Dubai, UAE lose no time
in recognizing and promoting women scientists’ achievements in the field of
Reproductive Healthcare and research.This excellence awards is organized with the intention to
help empower more women scientists to achieve scientific excellence and
participate equally in solving the great challenges facing humanity. The Women of Science Award
grants these eminent women researchers who are helping to change the world
through their discoveries, and are also role models for younger generations of
women researchers who want to pursue their scientific careers and break the
glass ceiling.
