#GirlsInICT

The Caribbean Community Girls in ICT Partnership

This Partnership will respond to the issues outlined in the overview document and will support new challenges faced by CARICOM Governments of the 21st century, with an extremely dynamic environment, a rapidly changing labour market, and increasingly diverse societies – in essence, helping to “future proof” CARICOM development.

#GirlsInICT

Why commemorate International Girls in ICT day? While girls across the world tend to outperform boys in reading and writing skills, they continue to be under-represented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Through International Girls in ICT Day, we work with partners build awareness about the gender digital divide, support technology education and skills training, and encourage more girls and young women to actively pursue careers in STEM.

For girls and young women to thrive in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) careers, they need to acquire skills to become both ICT users and creators in the digital world. That’s why, in consultation with youth, we identified “Digital Skills for Life” as our theme for Girls in ICT 2023.
