28 April: International Girls in ICT Day

Every year, to encourage equal participation in ICT technologies, International Girls in ICT Day is celebrated on April 28.

For girls and young women to thrive in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers, they need safe and reliable access to the internet and digital tools. That’s why, the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) - the United Nations specialized agency for information and communication technologies – ICTs has identified “Access and Safety” as the theme for Girls in ICT 2022.
