February 11: International Day of Women and Girls in Science
The 11th of February it is celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science. Over the years, women have been trying to achieve gender equality, and nowadays we can become scientists. Although we have this opportunity, we are not treated the same way as men in science. That’s why it is important to support women in science and celebrate this day.
There is a very interesting website in English about the 11th of February and women in science. We invite you to read it because it could be helpful to understand better some facts about this day.

These are some of the photos that appears in the website.
We are giving you a link of a video from this website. A young woman speaks about her experience studying science and her successful invention. We suggest you to watch it with subtitles, because other way it could be difficult to understand.

Another video, this time a cartoon. It is full of subtitles, but is still difficult.

We think it's a good idea to ask our scientists about this topic.
