The International Day of Women and Girls in Science, observed annually on February 11, aims to promote full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, this day addresses the gender disparities in STEM fields where women are significantly underrepresented, holding only about 30% of research positions globally. The initiative seeks to encourage more women and girls to pursue careers in science, highlighting the importance of diversity for scientific advancement. It also focuses on breaking down stereotypes, providing equal opportunities, and recognizing the contributions of women in science. Events and activities worldwide on this day include workshops, conferences, and campaigns to inspire and empower the next generation of female scientists.
