As Rebecca, a Mastercard Foundation scholar from Uganda, remembers, “When I was at my school, the boys used to call us ‘half-men,’ because if you’re a lady and you go for sciences, you’re a half-man.”
Conforme recorda Rebecca, uma académica da Fundação Mastercard do Uganda: "quando frequentava a escola, os rapazes costumavam chamar-nos “meio-homens”, porque quando somos mulheres e ingressamos na área das ciências, somos meio-homens".
