The numbers extend to the Latin American and Caribbean region, where women are a minority in these disciplines.<\/p>\n<h4 dir=\"ltr\">Some data:<\/h4>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">More than 6 out of 10 young women in Argentina express interest in topics related to Science and Technology. <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">(<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">U-<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">Report<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">\u00a0Argentina, 2021<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">25% of adolescent girls in the region feel they have little or no capacity to study or pursue Science and Technology. <span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">(<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">U-<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">Report<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">\u00a0Argentina, 2021<\/span><span class=\"NormalTextRun SCXW215682759 BCX0\">)<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The number of female programming students in Argentina decreased. While the number of male students grew by 16% between 2011 and 2019, there was a 5% drop in female students (CET, 2022).<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) studies are growing at a slower rate than university studies in general. This is despite the fact that many STEM majors are the most in-demand and highest paid in the labor market (CET, 2022).<\/p>\n<h2>About the International Day of Girls in ICTs<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">The fourth Thursday of April marks the International Day of Girls in ICT, an initiative promoted by the International Telecommunication Union that seeks to highlight the opportunities that exist in the field of information and communication technologies so that girls and young people who identify with the female gender can learn, discover and experiment in these areas.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Chicas en Tecnolog\u00eda offers free training proposals for young women in the region to become creators of technology with social impact. In the last year, 4,000 young women from 15 Latin American countries created +300 technological solutions to solve problems in their communities.
