The home, school and society are important factors influencing female participation in science and technology. Moreover, the active participation of females depends upon domestic chores, intimidation of girls by boys, gender stereotyping, domestic chores equally between boys and girls at home to enable girls to have enough time to study at home. There is a drastic drop in percentage of women from the doctoral level to the scientist / faculty position due to the recruitment procedures and family responsibilities. Also, there is a false belief that men are better suited for highly skilled tasks and advanced technologies. Women are also facing obstacles in the work place like exploitation by the colleagues and supervisors and treated with less salary and status in comparison with men. Finally, it can be concluded that women must be encouraged by parents, society and government so that they can delve into science and technology.
