Today at “Smart, Aware, and Safe: Skills and Stories Shaping Tomorrow’s Leaders,” a event at UN Headquarters, students from Bronx Health Sciences High School joined UN colleagues for a discussion on leadership, safety and opportunities for girls in STEM.

Representing OICT, Kristine Tata Velayo, Chief of the Regional Service Management Service, encouraged students to see themselves in technology:
“I’m absolutely certain each of you can contribute to technology. Technology needs more voices, perspectives and creativity.”

Speakers from across the UN system shared inspiring messages, including Inspector Charlene Wilson’s reminder: “If you see her, you can be her,” and UN Women’s Mitushi Das, who emphasized that “Science and technology is changing the world, and girls are essential to leading it.”

Through partnership across the UN, including UNDSS, UN Women and OICT, the event highlighted how collaboration can inspire the next generation of women leaders in STEM.
