The Gender Perspective in Engineering
This set of banners has been produced for the Women in Engineering Committee of the World Federation of Engineering Organisations in March 2020. They show how engineering and technology can address the disproportionate disadvantages that women face around the World in relation to each of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Huge thank you to everybody who has helped me put together these banners, including (but not only): Ellie Cosgrave, Iris Aquilina, Jennifer Lewis, Yvette Ramos, Maureen Fordham, Alex Harrington, Julie Fisher, Amita Bhakta, Claire Barnett, Solar Sisters, the WFEO Women in Engineering Committee, and a huge range of people on twitter.
I have borrowed text from many sources and have tried to ensure that these are referenced through the QR codes on the banners, but if I have borrowed your text without reference, please let me know and I will amend the banners accordingly. Or if I have forgotten to mention you then please let me know.
Thank you all for your help.
