Do you know what actually stands for? 🙋♀️
Information and Communication Technology.
It sounds like something complicated, but in reality it’s just everything around us. The apps on our phones, how we work online, how we learn, how we stay connected.
International Girls in ICT Day 2026 is a reminder of how powerful inclusion in tech really is.
This year’s theme, “AI for Development: Girls Shaping the Digital Future,” highlights the importance of giving girls equal space in the digital world, not just as users, but as creators and leaders.
We recently came across something that made us pause a bit. How many of the things we rely on in tech today actually came from contributions by women, even if we don’t always hear their names.
From early computing to algorithms, communication systems and so much of the digital world we now take for granted, women have been part of building it from the beginning.
We like thinking about it not as “history”, but as something that is still happening right now.
More girls are stepping into ICT, trying things, learning, creating, and it feels like that space is slowly becoming more open than it used to be.
And maybe that’s the most important part. Not just what was built before, but who gets to build what comes next.
