84 students participated in the workshop.

The objective of this workshop was to make the students aware of gender equality and the need to eliminate gender discrimination.

The students participated with eagerness and open mind and were willing to discuss how gender discrimination is hindering women participation in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) education, leading to underrepresentation in the workforce.

The workshop turned out to be very dynamic where different views were expressed. At the end everybody acknowledged that it was a meaningful endeavour and the participants gave positive feedback.

They expressed that it is high time we talk about it and that such workshops were needed to build sensitivity around gender discrimination and to address it.
