Happy International Women's Day!
March 8 is International Women's Day, the day when we jump on social media to celebrate
ourselves,send shoutouts to our mothers,sisters, daughters aunties and best friends!
The United Nations says the theme it is celebrating this year is Digital: Innovation and technology for gender equality.
The U.N.says that from the earliest days of computing, women have contributed to information
technology. But, it says those contributions have been little recognized or valued.
The international organization says 37 percent of women do not use the internet.
It also says 259 million fewer women than men have access to the internet.
Yet, women account for very close to half the world's population.
The U.N. says women are largely underrepresented in science, technology, engineering and mathematics careers.
"Bringing women into technology results in more creative solutions and has greater potential
for innovations that meet women's needs and promote gender equality"says the U.N.'s website.
For this year's lnternational women's Day, Secretar General Antonio Guterres said in a statement,
"Let us work together across governments, the private sector and civil society to build a more
inclusive, just, and prosperous world for women, girls, men, and boys everywhere."
