Gender Bias and Stereotypes

Women in the space industry often confront entrenched gender biases and stereotypes that question their competence and suitability for roles traditionally dominated by men. Historically, space exploration has been male-centric, leading to fewer visible role models for aspiring women. *Overcoming Methods*: To counteract these stereotypes, organizations are actively promoting diversity and inclusion initiatives. Women in the industry are also forming strong networks and mentorship programs, creating more visibility for female achievements and providing support to combat biases.
