THEME : A New Era for Sustainability: Think Science, Think Peace.
The International Day for Women and Girls in Science 2024 celebrates a new era for sustainability under the theme “Think Science, Think Peace.” This year’s focus underscores the pivotal role of women and girls in science as catalysts for global peace and sustainable development.
In today’s world, the intersection of science, peace, and sustainability is more crucial than ever. Women and girls in science are driving innovation, research, and solutions that are essential for creating a more sustainable and peaceful planet. Their contributions span diverse fields, from environmental science and renewable energy to healthcare, technology, and beyond.
By recognizing and empowering women and girls in science, we not only advance gender equality but also foster a culture of peace and sustainability. Their unique perspectives, creativity, and expertise are indispensable in addressing complex global challenges, including climate change, resource management, public health, and more.
This year’s theme encourages us to embrace the transformative power of science as a force for peace. Through scientific inquiry, collaboration, and knowledge-sharing, we can build a more harmonious and sustainable world for current and future generations. By investing in the education, mentorship, and inclusion of women and girls in science, we pave the way for a brighter, more peaceful future.
As we celebrate the International Day for Women and Girls in Science, let us reaffirm our commitment to promoting diversity, equity, and inclusion in scientific fields. Let us amplify the voices of women and girls in science, honour their achievements, and create opportunities for them to lead and thrive. Together, let us embrace the mantra: “Think Science, Think Peace,” and work towards a future where science becomes a beacon of hope and progress for all.
