INTERNATIONAL GIRLS IN ICT DAY (ITU)

April 22, 2027
INTERNATIONAL GIRLS IN ICT 2027

Only 28% of the global tech workforce consists of women. International Girls in ICT Day is about changing that ratio—starting today.
Technology is driving the future, yet millions of young women face barriers to accessing digital tools, internet access, and mentorship. Without equal access, we risk missing out on the ideas of half the world’s brightest minds.

On International Girls in ICT Day, we reaffirm our commitment to closing the digital gender divide. Equal access to tech education, digital skills, and leadership roles creates economic opportunity, drives innovation, and builds stronger communities.
THE ACTION
How we narrow the digital gender gap:
  1. Provide Early Access: Get digital devices and hands-on training into classrooms early.
  2. Highlight Role Models: Showcase women building AI, leading cybersecurity teams, and coding scalable systems.
  3. Invest in Mentorship: Connect students directly with industry professionals.   

A CALL TO ACTION

Whether you’re an educator, tech leader, or student, you can make a difference:
• Mentor a young woman interested in STEM.
• Sponsor a digital skills workshop.

“Give a girl a keyboard, and she will re-code the future.” 🚀

Today, on International Girls in ICT Day, we celebrate the innovators, coders, builders, and dreamers breaking boundaries in technology. Digital inclusion isn’t just about equality—it’s about building smarter, more inclusive solutions for every community.
Let’s make sure every girl has the access, confidence, and tools to shape the digital economy.
