With an increased focus on achieving gender equality, more opportunities have arisen for women throughout the Asia-Pacific region.

However, there appears to still exist bias in STEM (science, engineering, technology, and math) subjects and careers, as there is a low female representation in these areas. Women in positions of power Despite the attempts to push for gender equality, there also still appears to exist gender imbalances in many governments across the Asia-Pacific region. As such, there was a much lower female representation in ministerial level positions in Asia Pacific countries, compared to the male representation. Additionally, New Zealand was the only Asia Pacific country which stood out as having a bigger female-to-male ratio in terms of political representation.
