Today is International Girls in ICT Day

The field of information and communications technology (ICT) continues to evolve rapidly, opening up new professional development opportunities for girls.

International Girls in ICT Day is a global initiative to raise awareness of the importance of digital skill acquisition for girls.

Inspiring female role models show that a career in technology can be as diverse and interesting and as glamorous as you want it to be.

Reference: Girls in ICT Day is celebrated around the world every year. Since 2011, this memorable UN date is held at the initiative of the International Telecommunication Union on the fourth Thursday of April. This year the date falls on April 22.

On this day, various events are held aimed at empowering girls and young women, and encouraging them to choose an IT profession.
