Since 2015, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is celebrated on February 11, proclaimed by the United Nations (UN). This year under the motto: “Innovate. Demonstrate. Elevate. Advance. Sustain (IDEAS)”.
The main objective of this day is to achieve greater participation and inclusion of women and girls in the world of science and technology and thus break the gender gap.
Currently, less than 30% of women do not have access to studies or jobs related to the scientific and technological area, in an era where equity and gender equality must prevail.
For this reason, this day was decreed to give women and girls a voice and a place throughout the planet, promoting that they have a leading role in areas of science that are essential for human development.
