International Day of Women and Girls in Science 2022
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, UNESCO and UN-Women founded the International Day of Women and Girls in Science in 2015. Since then, each year on 11 February the critical role that women and girls play in science and technology is both recognised and celebrated internationally.
To be truly transformative, gender equality policies and programmes need to eliminate gender stereotypes through education, change social norms, promote positive role models of women scientists and build awareness at the highest levels of decision-making. We need to ensure that women and girls are not only participating in STEM fields, but are empowered to lead and innovate, and that they are supported by workplace policies and organizational cultures that ensure their safety, consider their needs as parents, and incentivize them to advance and thrive in these careers.”
Ms Audrey Azoulay, Director-General of UNESCO, and Ms Phumzile Mlambo-Ngcuka, Executive Director of UN Women.
Here in HetSys we want to celebrate women in the Sciences, by giving you the opportunity to meet some of the women in our Centre:
