Clé de Peau Beauté thinks that letting girls reach their full potential through STEM education is the key to making the world a better place.

This is also why the brand has a multi-year partnership with UNICEF to fight gender inequality, with a focus on STEM in girls’ schooling, jobs, and programs that give them power. To find answers to the world’s many problems, people need to work in the STEM areas. Giving half of the world’s girls and women more power in these areas will ensure a bright, open future marked by progress and new ideas that don’t depend on gender.
Reshma Saujani and Girls Who Code want to make sure that there are equal numbers of men and women in new tech jobs by 2030. A big goal, since this gap is 13% bigger now than it was almost 30 years ago[2]. Rehma Saujani is a lawyer, politician, and government servant. When she was running for US Congress, she visited local schools and saw that computer science classes were mostly boys with few or no girls. She became aware of the need for a cultural shift to close the gender gap, and she still fights for this as the Founder and CEO of Moms First.

This is very important as they make plans for their futures.” You can’t be something you can’t see, after all. Women only hold 28% of computer jobs today. We should all do our part to make sure that women and girls don’t get left behind when we fill the jobs of the future. The Power of Radiance Awards from Clé de Peau Beauté are helping to bring about the cultural change that’s needed to close the gender gap in STEM fields..”
