For the fourth consecutive year, the National Space Program Management Office (GGPEN) promotes in Angola World Space Week, a date that was established by the United Nations with the aim of celebrating the contribution of space science and technology to the improvement of the human condition.
For this year the theme of the event will be “Women in Space”, where it aims to highlight the female contribution to the development of space technology.
In the group of winds that GGPEN is organizing, in reference to the date, it involves lectures, interviews about the “Women and ICT”, dissemination of videos, workshops, exhibitions and other various activities related to the space area, with the aim of awakening interest in space technology, especially among women and girls.
"Nowadays the number of women working in the space sector has increased. It is a mostly male sector, but we always guide women who want to pursue this career to be more persistent, not to look at this taboo, which only men should occupy. It's a good sector to work in and women can do much more.”, declared Helga Rufino, Technical of the Administrative Area of GGPEN, in an interview with RNA.
