More than 54,900 female students have been reached through the "Engineer Girls Project" in Türkiye, an initiative whose aim is to address the gender gap in engineering fields by providing support and encouragement to female students from high school to university levels, according to a cabinet minister on Tuesday.

The project, ultimately fostering their entry and success in engineering careers, spans 125 high schools and involves 931 students from universities, said Türkiye's Family and Social Services Minister Mahinur Ozdemir Goktas.

The project has been ongoing since 2016 under the leadership of the ministry, in collaboration with the private sector, the minister said, adding that the first phase of the project was completed on Dec. 31, 2021, and the second phase covering the years 2022-2024 has been ongoing since Jan. 2022.

Goktas noted that the project has contributed to an increased interest among female students in engineering fields.
