Abstract

Progress is being made in improving the environment for women in physics in the United Kingdom, although the proportion of women in the subject remains stubbornly low. Several initiatives have been launched to help encourage girls enter the field and to retain women. The sector is starting to target broader aspects of equality, diversity, and inclusion.
