Today, we celebrate International Girls in ICT Day, an awesome initiative by the International Telecommunication Union to inspire more girls and young women to venture into the fields of Information and Communication Technology (ICT). This year’s theme, Leadership, highlights the important role that female leadership plays in shaping the future of technology.
At Her for Tech, we are dedicated to promoting the stories of women who are pioneers in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. Our magazine issue (Her for Tech Magazine) features 20 of the most inspiring women in technology, spotlighting their significant contributions and leadership roles. These profiles serve not only as accolades but also as powerful motivators for the next generation of female tech leaders in Malawi and globally.
International Girls in ICT Day calls us to recognize and reduce the gender gap in technology, advocating for enhanced ICT education and opportunities for girls. It is an opportunity for us to reaffirm our commitment to creating a diverse, inclusive, and innovative technological landscape. Let us all pledge to support and empower more young women to explore and excel in ICT, shaping a generation that is well-equipped to lead and innovate.
Happy International Girls in ICT Day!
