To start, let's decode the acronyms, for those who are less attentive, ITU is the acronym for “International Telecommunication Union”And it is this body that governs each aspect related to this universe of telecommunications.
To encourage the entry of women into the areas of Information and Communication Technology (ICT), ITU decided to set aside a day for them. This day is the 4th Thursday of the month of April, which this year is exactly today, 25 of April.
According to the official statement withdrawn on that organization's page:
With the number of girls opting to study technology-related declining disciplines in most countries around the world, ITU is committed to championing the catalytic role a technology career can play in creating exciting, far-reaching opportunities for women and girls.
The ITU's aim is to inspire girls to consider a future in technology. O "Girls in ICT Day ” was established in 2010 and supports the global organization of activities related to the topic. So far around 100 countries will organize events to celebrate this day and meet its objective.
In Angola, do you know if there will be this “celebration”?
