International Women in Science Day - February 11th 2022
What is the International Day of Women and Girls in Science?
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science was established on the 22nd December 2015 by the United Nations General Assembly in order to “achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls”.
Celebrated every year since then on February 11th, this day should remind us that, while women have continued to participate significantly at all levels of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM), they’re still not represented and recognised as much as they should be.
