ICT (Information and communications technology) is a rapidly growing and exciting industry. ‘Girls in ICT Day’ aims to encourage girls and young women to consider studies or career opportunities in ICT.
“Supporting the education of women and girls in the ICT sector is also in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), in particular SDG 5, aimed at achieving gender equality and empowering all women and girls through, among others, ICTs.
Not only are jobs in the ICT sector lifting women out of poverty, but a more gender-balanced sector offers fulfilling mid and high-level careers, and enables highly talented women to springboard to the top of the career ladder. This is good for everyone.” (International Telecommunications Union, 2019)
