Programme Background and Introduction:
International Girls in ICT Day (GICT) provides an opportunity for girls and young women to see and learn more about the benefits of ICTs in enabling their career aspirations. To date, over 377,000 girls and young women have taken part in more than 11,400 celebrations of International Girls in ICT Day in 171 countries worldwide. Girls in ICT strives to equip girls and young women [aged 12-24] with the necessary digital skills to pursue careers in the field of STEM, particularly in ICTs. In 2024, the theme for GICT is “Leadership”, highlighting the importance of women role models in leadership positions, to inspire girls and young women as well as break down barriers that might hinder their professional growth.
