\nEngineering and technology have an enormous role to play in enhancing our lives. Engineers literally build the world around us, and as engineers, we have a huge influence on the lives of people, and the planet. From the products and services we produce, to the resources and materials we mine and manufacture in order to create these engineered solutions.<\/p>\n

The importance of engineering and technology on the lives of women is recognised in Sustainable Development Goal 5, with a target to \u2018enhance the use of enabling technology to promote the empowerment of women.\u2019<\/p>\n

One way to ensure that the lives of women are enhanced by engineering is to have a diverse and inclusive engineering sector where women are equally represented. But ensuring that engineering is accessible and inclusive of all is incumbent upon all engineers, not just women or those representing minoritised groups.<\/p>\n

In this webinar we explored these issues and hear from speakers who are ensuring that the work that they do in engineering is enhancing the lives of all women \u2013 and all people equally.<\/p>\n
