Recognising the imperative in the 21st century for science, technology, and innovation (STI) to support economic growth and prepare citizens for future jobs, while also considering the gender disparities and biases prevalent in these fields, this research aimed to identify the mechanisms for improving female participation in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in higher education in India, Portugal and Serbia. The study analysed national policies on gender equality using documental deductive analysis structured around categories based on UNESCO’s SAGA Toolkit. Although the three countries have different geopolitical positions – Portugal is a member of the European Union (EU), Serbia is a candidate for EU membership, and India is part of the BRICS economic alliance – the results revealed a principal similarity: none of the documents fully addressed all the categories promoting women in STEM higher education. Based on this finding, there is a need for broader gender mainstreaming in these policies.
