"If Men andWomenWorked Together,We could Accelerate Growth": Opportunities in the Presence of Gender Stereotype for Robot Olympiad Participants from Bangladesh
Pages 493 - 496
Abstract
This work closely examines Bangladesh Robot Olympiad (BDRO) participants who are teens competing internationally, covering N=23, (F= 12, M=11). The study findings were aligned through the lenses of Naila Kabeer's empowerment framework, showing access to resources, agency, and achievement as the parameters. While the resource access challenges are applicable to all genders, the social barriers make it harder for women. The surrounding support system plays an important role in ensuring agency and achievement, as the study shows.
