International Day of Women and Girls in Science: 11 February 2022

International Day of Women and Girls in Science is observed every year on 11 February to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls. 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”
