CARICOM Secretariat, partners, celebrate Girls in ICT Day 2019 via Online Campaign
Tomorrow, on International Girls in ICT Day, the CARICOM Secretariat
will embark on an online celebration of girls and young women in ICT and
will use the opportunity to launch the programme for 2019-2020.
International
Girls in ICT Day, an initiative backed by all ITU Member States in ITU
Plenipotentiary Resolution 70 (Rev. Dubai, 2018), aims to encourage and
empower girls and young women to consider studies and careers in the
growing field of ICTs. This will enable both girls and technology
companies to reap the benefits of greater female participation in the
ICT sector.
The CARICOM Secretariat, its Girls in ICT Partners, as
well as CARICOM Member States will be using this online campaign to
highlight regional women working in the ICT Sector, as well as to
educate and encourage girls and young women to choose careers in ICT.
This will be done through social media via various platforms such as CARICOM Today (blog), Facebook and Twitter; and will include polls, surveys, and features of CARICOM girls and women in ICT.
The
Secretariat encourages widespread participation in the event using the
following hashtags: #caricomgirlsinict; #caricomwomeninict;
#girlsforcaricomsingleictspace.
In addition to the Online Launch, the CARICOM Secretariat will engage in various programmes for Girls (and Boys) in ICT.
