In 2015, the U.N. General Assembly decided to establish an annual International Day to recognize the critical role women and girls play in science and technology, through a Resolution.
The International Day of Women and Girls in Science is implemented by UNESCO and UN-Women, in collaboration with institutions and civil society partners that aim to promote women and girls in science. This Day is an opportunity to promote equal access to and participation in science for women and girls.
