Next Monday, November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women will be commemorated, a key day to show the rejection of violence suffered by girls, adolescents, young people and women around the world and to express the need to address them and to respond in a clear, direct and effective manner with the aim of eradicating them completely. Within the Xarxa Punt TIC, there are many activities and events that are scheduled throughout the year to make women visible and their transformative role in the field of information and communication technologies, as well as its key presence in the STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) sectors. This year, from the Xarxa Punt TIC, we want to prepare a collection of activities with the aim of vindicating women's rights and demanding an end to violence.
In this sense, Punt TIC can send their activities to oficina.tecnica@punttic.cat.
