2023 Theme: Digital Skills for Life

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.

This year and every year, ITU and our partners work together to inspire and encourage girls to pursue a future in ICTs and to empower them by ensuring they have the necessary skills, confidence and support to achieve their goals.

In 2023, International Girls in ICT Day was celebrated on 27 April.
