SciEtech joins the rest of the world to celebrate every Girl Child around the world on the 2021 International Day of the Girl Child.

International Day of the Girl Child is an annual and internationally recognized observance on October 11 that empowers girls and amplifies their voices. Like its adult version, International Women's Day, celebrated on March 8, International Day of the Girl Child acknowledges the importance, power, and potential of adolescent girls by encouraging the opening up of more opportunities for them. This day is designated to eliminate gender-based challenges that little girls face around the world, including child marriages, poor learning opportunities, violence, and discrimination.

The theme for 2021 International Day of the Girl Child is "Digital Generation. Our Generation". While the Social Media campaign theme is #BrighterFutureForGirls.

To achieve SDG5, the interest of the girl child in STEM Education must be ignited and sustained. The media should be consistent in reporting breakthroughs in science and highlighting the victories of female scientists. There is need to invest in STEM for girls and encouraging males to support females inclusion. There is also need to push publicity for what girls and women are already doing, and what will dispel societal stereotypes of women coming to take over the digital world in the near future. Schools have to invest in more activities that are not gender-specific and also offer counselling in STEM careers. Everyone needs to invest in STEM initiatives. (Source: Punch Webinar Series)
