ICTs for Girls Day2014, by EVillage - PSA

International Day of ICTs for Girls , 24th April, 2014 will be celebrated by Pakistan Social Association in collaboration with its E-village Project.

Information and communication technologies (ICTs) are globally being used, for rapid development in health, education, economic empowerment and good governance and to build the capacity of different segments in the society. To promote the use of ICTs by youth, numbers of initiatives are being taken at International level and Pakistan need to be part of these efforts. In a similar effort International Telecentre Union [ITU], is celebrating 24th April 2013, as an international day on the subject of ICTs for girls’. On this day speakers and resource persons globally would highlight the importance of building the capacity for young girls to understand and utilization of ICTs, for rapid development especially in rural areas. E-village project was launched as a non for profit initiative by Pakistan Social Association [PSA] a government registered NGO during 2009. This project aims to take the power of ICTs to rural areas and currently this initiative is functional in nearly 50 villages of Pakistan. E-village is a project for economic empowerment of Girls in rural areas of Pakistan by training them in ICTs skills. Under the E-women project we intend to train Twenty Thousand Girls over Pakistan, including AJK and Gilgit Baltistan. Currently Eighteen hundred students are under training. Last year we celebrated ' ICTs for Girls Day ' on 26th April 2013, the attached proposal document includes the last year and recent events highlights. Further details of all events and E-villages Centre, which shows our presence in almost every part of Pakistan, are available in Photo gallery at www.evillage.net.pk

What is Girls in ICT Day?

International Girls’ in ICT Day is an initiative backed by ITU Member States in ITU Plenipotentiary Resolution 70 (Guadalajara, 2010) to create a global environment that empowers and encourages girls and young women to consider careers in the growing field of information and communication technologies (ICTs). International Girls in ICT Day is celebrated on the 4th Thursday in April every year.

International Girls in ICT day will next be observed on 24 April 2014.

What is a Girls in ICT Day event? These are events where girls and university students are invited to spend the day at the office of ICT companies and government agencies so they better understand the opportunities the ICT sector holds for their future. Ministries of ICT, Education, Labour, Youth, National ICT Regulatory Authorities, ICT companies, academic institutions, relevant UN agencies, NGOs and other stakeholders are encouraged to organize Girls in ICT day events on 24 April 2014. The ITU Secretary General invites all ITU Member States and Sector Members to organize events attracting as many girls and young women as possible.

To ensure that interested students can find more information about such events in their country, the ICT Studies and Careers Section includes links to national Girls in ICT Day activities. Public and private sector organizations are encouraged to consult the Girls in ICT Day Toolkit to help plan a Girls in ICT Day event. This Toolkit was developed by WITNET, the Global Network of Women ICT Decision Makers created in line with ITU Plenipotentiary Resolution 70.
