The Girls-In-ICT celebration in Ghana originated from the International Telecommunication Union's (ITU) Resolution 70, established in 2012. The resolution aims to promote gender equality and empower girls and women in Information and Communication Technology (ICT). It encourages Member States to create strategies and programs to increase girls' interest and participation in ICT studies and careers. The yearly celebration is adopted by the Ministry of Communications and Digitalisation in Ghana since 2012, targeting girls in public first cycle schools, and has now been expanded to include girls in public tertiary institutions. The goal is to bridge the digital gender divide and encourage more girls to pursue ICT-related fields.
