(ANSA) – DUBAI, 11 FEB – The International Day of Women and Girls in Science “was a fundamental intuition to define one of the main challenges we have in the time ahead: investing in education, training and enhancement of women also in the scientific field, increase the skills for girls and remove any barrier or stereotype that unfortunately still exists today and that induces too many girls not to choose science subjects because they think they are not suitable “. This was stated by the Minister for Equal Opportunities and the Family, Elena Bonetti, on the sidelines of her visit to the Italian Pavilion of Expo 2020 Dubai.
“Science needs women, and women need science to face the new languages that the future wants them as protagonists. Today we celebrate a day to tell girls that they can really find the ideal space in the world of science to be able to realize their dreams and make them come true, “said the minister.
Bonetti is visiting Expo 2020 Dubai today, where in the afternoon he will participate in two forums organized by Aspen and the Bracco Foundation. The first meeting, entitled “Mind the STEM Gap”, will focus on the importance of educating girls in STEM disciplines, and will see the interventions in connection, among others, by the Minister of Education Patrizio Bianchi and the Minister of University and Research, Maria Cristina Messa. Following this, the forum Women as key actors “will emphasize the role of women in international relations, with virtual speeches by the EU special representative for the Sahel, Emanuela Del Re, and Deputy Foreign Minister Marina Sereni, among others.
