Photo exhibition: Not a woman’s job?
Changing Faces of Science and Tech
The photo exhibition Not a woman’s job? is organized by the Perception Change Project at the United Nations Office at Geneva with the participation of the European Organization for Nuclear Research and the International Telecommunication Union.
The Organizers have invited ITU stakeholders to submit photos featuring the achievements and stories of women (18+) who have challenged gender stereotypes and overcome barriers in the field of science and technology.
Celebrating women who dare to lead, innovate and forge new paths in science and tech:
Mary, 22, is an engineer in Kampala, Uganda. She has lent her skills to the ‘Smart Bags for Girls’ project which aims to remove barriers that prevent girls from going to school. Mary’s initiative was to add a solar panel to the school bags, which powers a torch, so girls can do their homework when there’s no electricity. “I want to become a great engineer who can help other girls like me to turn dreams into a reality and create positive change in people’s lives,” says Mary.
