International Day of the Girl

ABOUT:

International Day of the Girl was intended to amplify awareness of issues significant to girls within the spheres of government, policymaking, and the wider public. It seeks to create additional avenues for girls to articulate their perspectives on the global stage, fostering increased opportunities for their voices to be acknowledged and valued.

WHY:

Teaching girls to be builders rather than just consumers in science is a crucial initiative with far-reaching implications for gender equality and societal progress. By empowering girls with the skills to actively contribute to scientific advancements, we are not only promoting inclusivity, but also addressing systemic challenges that hinder the representation of women in STEM fields.
