Women are paid 74 cents for every dollar
men are paid, on average.
EQUAL PAY?

Discrimination can also happen

to girls in school. Often, university

math and science classes are mostly MEN
filled with men. A lot of that has

to do with gender stereotypes.

People sometimes think that men
are better at math and science.

Women are thought to be better at

reading and writing. This is not true.

But it sometimes causes people to WOMEN

discourage women from studying
math and science subjects. Groups

such as hEr VOLUTION aim to help

get more women involved in the
science, technology, engineering, and

math fields.
