This day was recognized by the United Nations in light of the global need "to achieve full and equal access to and participation in science for women and girls, and further achieve gender equality and the empowerment of women and girls."

A gender-inclusive STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) culture will benefit from more brains working out the problems of the future. By inspiring confidence, introducing role models, and talking about discrimination, you can help our bright, curious girls realize their potential in STEM fields!
