The World Capital of Women and Girls in Science stands as a global symbol of unity, progress, and shared responsibility. Each year, a United Nations Member State is entrusted with the honor of becoming the World Capital. With this designation comes a clear commitment: to lead a national and international agenda that advances science diplomacy, strengthens inclusive participation, and expands opportunities for women and girls across all fields of science, technology, innovation, and the arts. The World Capital mobilizes governments, institutions, and communities to build enabling environments, forge strategic partnerships, and amplify the voices and achievements of women and girls. It brings global visibility to local innovation, connects national priorities to international frameworks, and ensures that progress is not symbolic but impactful, sustainable, and enduring.
