International Day of Women and Girls in Science is observed globally on 11 February.
The 7th International Day of Women and Girls in Science Assembly, taking place on 11 February 2022, aims to recognize the role of women and girls in science, not only as beneficiaries but also as agents of change, including in view of accelerating progress towards the achievement of SDG 6 (Clean Water and Sanitation).
The Day is implemented by UNESCO and UN-Women in collaboration with institutions and civil society partners that aim to promote women and girls in science.
The 2022 theme of the Day is “Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion: Water Unites Us”.
In December 2015, the United Nations adopted a resolution to celebrate February 11 as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science.
