 Like this year, Girls in ICT Day will be celebrated on the 23rd of April. Celebrating our annual Girls in ICT Day is always one of the top events on my calendar. But right now, we face an unprecedented challenge. The COVID-19 global health emergency has turned our world upside down. And limiting the spread of this highly infectious virus demands radical changes in the way that we work. So this year, we strongly encourage you to focus your Girls in ICT Day around social media and virtual events. Let's turn this challenge into an opportunity that really demonstrates the power of technology to change our lives. Let's get creative on TikTok, Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, and other platforms. And if we can, let's take advantage of video conferencing to connect remotely for dialogues and debates on more effective strategies to bridge the digital gender divide. At the ITU, we're turning our own on-site celebrations in Samoa into what I think is going to be a fun and inspiring virtual event. And to support your activities, we've developed a special social media package that you can download from our website. Our Girls in ICT portal will continue to be the hub for sharing your activities with the global community. We'll also still be mapping our virtual celebrations, so please don't forget to tell us about what you're doing, about the unique ways that you're adapting to Girls in ICT Day for maximum outreach and effect. I wish you all an engaging, exciting, and inspiring Girls in ICT Day 2020. And of course, above all, stay safe and stay healthy.
