International Women in Engineering Day highlights the achievements of women engineers, suggesting it plays a crucial role in encouraging girls to pursue engineering careers.
International Women in Engineering Day (INWED) began in the UK in 2014 as a national campaign from the Women?s Engineering Society (WES). Since then, it has grown enormously, receiving UNESCO patronage in 2016 and going truly global the following year. INWED promotes the amazing work that women engineers across the globe are doing and gives them a profile when they are still hugely under-represented. As the only platform of its kind, it plays a vital role in encouraging more young women and girls to take up engineering careers.
