This comes with its own set of challenges as we work towards mainstreaming gender into departments and programs with specific barriers to equality. Equate Scotland is a strong resource for organizations seeking initiatives which will help mainstream gender into highly-technical roles within their global organization: https://equatescotland.org.uk/

Similarly, the Council on Foreign Relations has conducted a study on the global STEM workforce which can be used in the integration efforts of international development organizations: https://www.cfr.org/report/investing-girls-stem-education-developing-countries
