On 11 February, to mark the International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/strong>, Graduated Women International released a video infographic celebrating women in STEM.

\u2013In 2015, the United Nations General Assembly<\/strong> declared 11 February as the International Day of Women and Girls in Science<\/strong>. The gender gap in science remains significant : current data reveals that women make up just 33.3 % of researchers globally, and only 35% of STEM related degree holders are female. <\/p>\n

This year\u2019s celebration, which marks the 10th anniversary of this International Day, focuses on\u00a0Unpacking STEM Careers: Her Voice in Science, with a hybrid event on 11 February 2025<\/a> organized at UNESCO Headquarters. <\/p>\n
