International Girls in ICT 2023 – Calendar of main ITU events
The global celebration included a series of events that ran during the day as part of the Summit and will address different topics related to Digital Skills i.e.: role models, education, mentorship, youth participation. The events built onto the various initiatives of the ITU that not only seek to achieve digital gender equality, but also would address the importance of education and connectivity.
The global Girls in ICT event was celebrated on 27 April in Zimbabwe as part of the Transform Africa Summit 2023, in coordination and collaboration with the Postal and Telecommunication Regulatory Authority of Zimbabwe (POTRAZ) and Smart Africa.
Girls in ICT day is now a global movement with ITU partners and other organizations conducting their own events and celebrations on the Girls in ICT day and throughout the year.
