UNESCO Marks International Day for Women and Girls in Science in UAE

Trailblazers working in space, climate change, energy and more will take the mic to mark International Day for Women and Girls in Science on 11th February at Expo 2020 Dubai, sharing personal experiences and exchanging strategies to encourage others to join these sectors.

Recognising that science and gender equality are both vital for the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, the diverse programme will celebrate the successes of women change-makers and hone in on the role of mentors in guiding the next generation in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

The programme at Expo 2020 Dubai, which will be held at the Nexus for People & Planet, will run from 14:00-18:00 GST on 11th February, in partnership with the UAE Ministry of Industry and Advanced Technology, the United Nations Office for Outer Space Affairs (UNOOSA), and United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO).

The event will be UNESCO’s main celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science for 2022.
