International Girls in ICT Day

The fourth Thursday of April, this year April 23, marks the International Girls in ICT Day, an initiative by ITU Member States in Plenipotentiary Resolution 70 to generate a global environment that encourages girls and women to pursue careers in information and communication technologies (ICT).

To celebrate the Day in 2020, ITU will host an online dialogue on Girls in ICT: Inspiring the Next Generation on April 23 at 14h30 (Paris time).

Apart from that, ITU will feature virtual celebrations around the world in a 24-hour World Tour of Girls in ICT Day. In light of COVID-19, organizations have transformed initially planned on-site events into online celebrations.
