International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 February promotes gender quality, access and the empowerment of women and girls in science, technology, engineering and mathematics education, training and research activities.
Established by the United Nations General Assembly, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science recognises the critical role women and girls play in science and technology communities.
The 2021 theme: 'Women Scientists at the forefront of the fight against COVID-19' recognises the importance of women in research.
