Message by Irina Bokova, Director-General of UNESCO, on the Occasion of International Day for Women and Girls in Science 联合国教科文组织总干事伊琳娜·博科娃妇女和女童参与科学国际日致辞 11 February 2017 2017年2月11日 This International Day of Women and Girls in Science is an opportunity for all to take a stand for girls and women in science. 值妇女和女童参与科学国际日之际，让我们向参与科学的妇女和女童表示最坚定的支持。 Girls continue to face stereotypes and social and cultural restrictions, limiting access to education and funding for research, preventing them from scientific careers and reaching their full potential. Women remain a minority in science research and decision-making. This throws a shadow over all efforts to reach the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the Paris Agreement on Climate Change – both of which highlight the key roles of gender equality and science. 女童一直面临着各种成见以及社会文化壁垒，这大大限制她们获得教育和科研经费的机会，阻碍她们走上科学道路并充分发挥自己的潜力。妇女在科学研究和决策中仍然处在少数地位。这为实现《2030年可持续发展议程》和《巴黎气候变化协定》的各项努力笼罩了阴影，这两个文件都强调了性别平等和科学的关键作用。 At the same time, girls and women shoulder the heaviest burdens of poverty and inequality – they stand on the frontlines of climate change, including the disasters resulting from natural hazards. Girls and women in rural and disadvantaged areas are hit hardest. |
