The Movimento Meninas Olímpicas, a scientific olympiad ecosystem focused on girls and founded in July 2016, aims to increase the presence of women in strategic spaces such as politics, business, or science, by encouraging equal participation of girls in Computing and knowledge olympiads in the STEM field.
It has been observed that the percentage of girls awarded in scientific olympiads corresponds to the percentage of women in positions of power. Female presence is inversely proportional to the prestige of the olympiads or positions of power and decision-making.
