The Department of Science and Technology (DOST) celebrated the International Day of Women and Girls in Science with a hybrid forum held on 12 February 2024 with the theme "Women and Girls in Science Leadership." Six empowered women were invited to discuss science leadership and share their experiences as women in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM).

Assistant Secretary and DOST-wide GAD Focal Person Dr. Diana L. Ignacio, in her welcome remarks, reported that women researchers account for only 33.3 percent and workforce at 28 percent.
