Women scientists, engineers and other women federal employees say they fear for their professional future.

President Donald Trump ’s executive orders have labeled diversity, equity and inclusion programs as “discriminatory” Several women who occupy STEM-related positions in the federal government slammed his directives as policies that only seek to widen the existing gender and racial divides.

With so many men in their fields, those groups and programs have historically helped women and minorities better navigate workplace dynamics, ask critical questions in a safe space and feel comfortable being themselves at work, the employee said. “How do you stand shoulder to shoulder with folks that, just because they’re male, they’re getting listened to more?” the worker said. “When you feel like you have a part of the community and you have other people you can lean on, you can do your job better.”.
