Celebrating International Women’s Day with the past, present, and future chairs of Ontario Network of Women in Engineering—honouring the leadership and community empowering women in engineering across Ontario. 💜

Today, the world marks the International Day of Women and Girls in Science (IDWGIS) 2026, observed under the theme: ‘Synergizing AI, Social Science, STEM and Finance: Building Inclusive Futures for Women and Girls.’

This year’s theme emphasizes a four-pillar approach to accelerate inclusive and sustainable development at a time when global inequalities continue to widen.
Investment in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) education remains critical to equipping women and girls with the technical skills needed to develop and lead AI-driven solutions. Gender-balanced research teams are also recognized as a main factor in fostering more inclusive and impactful innovation.
Celebrated annually, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science calls on governments, institutions and the private sector to strengthen collaboration and ensure that scientific and technological progress benefits everyone equally.

On International Day of Women and Girls in Science, ONWiE proudly supports building inclusive futures by empowering women and girls to lead across STEM, AI, social science, and finance. 💜🔬

On the National Day of Remembrance and Action on Violence Against Women, we honour the lives tragically lost and stand in solidarity with all those impacted by gender-based violence. This day reminds us of the ongoing need to foster safer, more inclusive spaces within engineering and beyond. As a community, we recommit ourselves to advancing equity, uplifting women’s voices, and working toward a future where every woman can learn, work, and lead without fear. 🕯️
