2025 marks the 10th anniversary of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The IDWG in Science is an annual observance adopted by the United Nations General Assembly to promote full and equal access and participation for women in Science.

IDWG in Science is a global effort to promote gender equality and women’s empowerment. Gender equality in science is crucial for building a better future for all, yet women and girls continue to face systemic barriers and biases in pursuing scientific careers.

Closing the gender gap in science requires breaking stereotypes, promoting role models to inspire girls, supporting women’s advancement through targeted programs, and aiding in inclusive environments through policies and actions that promote inclusion, diversity and equity.

Despite statistics that show close performance of girls and boys in science and mathematics, strong gendered stereotypes exist and many girls are still less encouraged in STEM fields and have limited choices for their education and career development.

March 23 is National Puppy Day! Established in 2006, it’s a special day for dog lovers to celebrate the unconditional love of puppies and admire the adorable little furballs that bring so much joy into the world. While we can’t resist their cuteness, the day also aims to raise awareness about puppy mills and encourage potential pet owners to consider adopting instead of buying.
