English term or phrase: Gender Issues in Science Education: Empowering Girls and Women
I need to decide the title of a workshop. My counterpart says that this phrasing is wrong and that "Gender Issues in Science Education: on Empowering Girls and Women" would be the correct form.
My opinion is that she would be correct is there was no ":", indicating a subtitle.
The idea is a workshop focused on science education. As a consequence we have the empowerment of girls and women.
What would be better?
Thanks in advance.

English translation:Agree with this
Explanation:
The general topic of the workshop (gender) and the gender specifically under discussion (female).

You could certainly refer to the '"gender issues in science education" workshop on empowering girls and women'. But this is the title of the workshop, and a colon is correct here.

agree  Armorel Young: It would be perfectly OK to call the workshop "Empowering X and Y" - so it's equally OK to use it as a subtitle or elaboration of the title
