Today, we celebrate the International Girls in ICT Day, advocated by UN Women. It's a day dedicated to empowering girls and young women in the field of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). Around the globe, various events and workshops are held to inspire and equip girls with the skills needed to thrive in the digital world. However, as we observe this day, we must acknowledge the challenges girls face online. Digital threats, such as exposure to harmful content and online harassment, can prevent them from accessing educational resources and participating in digital spaces. By creating safer online environments, we enable girls to fully explore their potential. Visit UN Women's website to find out how you can get involved and inspire the next generation of female leaders in technology 👉 https://bit.ly/3W267HL #GirlsinICT #UNWomen #EmpowerGirls #OnlineSafety #DigitalOpportunities #DigitalLiteracy #GirlSafety #UNDay #INHOPE

Celebrating International Girls in ICT Day: Empowering the Next Generation of Tech Innovators Today, we celebrate International Girls in ICT Day, a global initiative to inspire girls and young women to pursue careers in technology. Did you know that only 22% of ICT jobs worldwide are held by women (ITU)? According to ITU data, around 900 million women worldwide lack basic digital skills – a significant barrier to entry into the tech industry (ITU). This day challenges stereotypes and promotes equal opportunities in tech. Let's encourage girls' participation, break stereotypes, promote equal opportunities, and support education to bridge the gender gap in technology. Together, we can empower the next generation of tech innovators! #GirlsInICT #EmpowerWomen
