11 February - International Day of Women and Girls in Science Observed at Sambara Celebrations

 

 February 11 - International Day of Women and Girls in Science


Why This Day Is Special 

This UN-designated day recognizes the critical role women and girls play in science and technology. It aims to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, challenging stereotypes and gender biases that persist in STEM fields. The day highlights the achievements of women scientists and serves as an inspiration for the next generation of female innovators. It emphasizes that diversity in science leads to better outcomes and solutions for global challenges.

History Behind the Day 

The United Nations General Assembly established this day in 2015. This decision was driven by the recognition that despite significant progress, women are still underrepresented in STEM careers. UNESCO and UN-Women, in collaboration with institutions and civil society partners, lead the celebrations. The day seeks to break down barriers and create an inclusive environment for women in science.

Did You Know? 

Only about 33% of researchers worldwide are women. Women and girls are often steered away from STEM subjects from an early age due to societal biases and lack of role models. Studies show that diverse teams, including those with greater gender balance, are more innovative and productive. Increasing the participation of women in science is crucial for achieving the Sustainable Development Goals.

How Can We Celebrate?

Encourage girls and young women to pursue their interests in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). Highlight the stories and achievements of women scientists, both historical and contemporary. Advocate for policies that promote gender equality in STEM education and careers. Support mentorship programs for aspiring female scientists.


Empowering women in science fuels innovation and progress, building a brighter future for all.
