FEBRUARY 11

The year 2025 marks the tenth anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science and the thirtieth anniversary of the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action , two major milestones in the global promotion of gender equality and women's empowerment.

Gender equality in science is crucial to building a better future for all. However, women and girls continue to face systemic barriers and biases when pursuing scientific careers.

Closing the gender gap in science requires breaking down stereotypes, promoting role models that inspire girls, supporting the advancement of women through specific programs, and fostering inclusive environments through policies and measures that promote inclusion, diversity and equity.
