Every year on February 11, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated worldwide. The day was established by the United Nations General Assembly to promote full and equal access to and participation of women in science and technology.
This observance highlights the importance of equal opportunities in education, research, and innovation, as well as the need to remove barriers that women and girls still face in STEM fields. Diversity in science fosters creativity, strengthens research outcomes, and supports sustainable solutions to global challenges.
By marking this day, we recognize the achievements of women scientists and researchers whose work advances society and inspires future generations of girls to pursue careers in science.
