The persistent innovation gap faced by women and minority communities perpetuates digital inequalities, hindering their active participation. Elevating women and girls beyond mere consumers in the digital economy requires opening doors to innovation spaces.<\/p>\n<p>Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) emerge as pivotal avenues for fostering women and girls' involvement in the innovation economy. Equipping them with appropriate qualifications in STEM disciplines could pave the way for their greater inclusion in innovation processes. However, global figures reveal a scarcity of women and girls in STEM fields, prompting a call for increased investments in educational systems and the creation of inclusive organizational and social structures. Closing the innovation gap through STEM investments holds the promise of enabling more women and girls to actively shape the digital transformations defining their lives.<\/p>\n<p>GeJuSTA focuses explicitly on forging pathways for women researchers in STEM across Africa. As a consortium partner, SPIDER has contributed to evaluating publications and their representation of women in STEM within the region. A striking revelation emerged: while women in STEM exist, their stories seldom find space in scientific publications. This discrepancy prompts reflection\u2014are these stories merely untold or just half the narrative?<\/p>\n<p>Our exploration extended beyond conventional scientific publications, delving into development-focused materials, popular science platforms, grey literature, blogs, and social media. Here, a rich tapestry of women excelling in STEM across varied fields emerged. This revelation underscores a crucial aspect: Western constructs of science, publications, and STEM often overlook women from marginalized backgrounds. Projects like GeJuSTA play a pivotal role in validating and amplifying the voices of these women in STEM on the margins<\/p><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_section et_pb_section_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_section_regular et_block_section\" >\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_row et_pb_row_3  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et_block_row\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_d4_element et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column et_pb_column_5  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode et-last-child et_block_column\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element dsm_dual_heading dsm_dual_heading_0  et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"dsm-dual-heading-main et_pb_module_header\"><span class=\"dsm-dual-heading-before\">Latest updates from <\/span><span class=\"dsm-dual-heading-middle\">SPIDER's<\/span><span class=\"dsm-dual-heading-after\">Research<\/span><\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"et_pb_module et_d4_element dsm_blog_carousel dsm_blog_carousel_0\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"et_pb_module_inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-blog-carousel\" data-orientation='horizontal' data-loop='1' data-speed='500' data-columnsdesktop='3' data-columnsphone='1' data-columnstablet='2' data-autoplay='on' data-autoplayspeed='5000' data-ordernumber='0' data-spacing='30' data-spacingtablet='30' data-spacingphone='30' data-effect='default' data-effect-shadows='off' data-effect-coverflow-rotate='30' data-effect-coverflow-depth='100' data-centered='off' data-multi-row='off' data-row='1' data-rowstablet='1' data-rowsphone='1' data-pagi-button-style='bullets' data-pause-on-hover='off' data-touch-move='off' data-grab='on' data-mousewheel='off' data-autoplay-viewport='80%'>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"swiper-container dsm_blog_carousel_wrapper\" dir=\"ltr\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-blog-carousel-wrapper swiper-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t<article class=\"dsm-blog-carousel-item swiper-slide\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-grid-post-holder-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-entry-image\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-entry-thumbnail\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/spidercenter.org\/index.php\/2023\/12\/11\/equals-eu-policy-brief\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1080\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/spidercenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EQUALS-EU-Equals-illustration-scaled-1-1080x675.jpg\" class=\"skip-lazy wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/spidercenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EQUALS-EU-Equals-illustration-scaled-1-980x693.jpg 980w, https:\/\/spidercenter.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/EQUALS-EU-Equals-illustration-scaled-1-480x339.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 0px) and (max-width: 480px) 480px, (min-width: 481px) and (max-width: 980px) 980px, (min-width: 981px) 1080px, 100vw\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-entry-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<header class=\"dsm-entry-header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"dsm-entry-title\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/spidercenter.org\/index.php\/2023\/12\/11\/equals-eu-policy-brief\/\">EQUALS-EU Policy brief<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/header>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"dsm-post-excerpt\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>How to do gender inclusive innovation &#xf225; What characterises gender-inclusive innovation ecosystems?
