What began as an outcome declaration from the first High-Level World Women’s Health and Development Forum in 2015, organized by RASIT and the Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), has become an International Day when the 70th Session of the United Nations General Assembly adopted resolution (70/212) proclaiming February 11th annually the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. The sponsorship of more than 68 countries and adopting the resolution signals the global community’s interest in transforming societies through achieving equality and parity in science for sustainable development. The partnership between RASIT and the Government of the Republic of Malta illustrates Sustainable Development Goal 17, which is Strengthen the means of implementation and revitalize the global partnership for sustainable development.
