The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Girls in Information and Communication Technology (CGICT) Partnership will launch HERizon: CARICOM Women Shaping STEAM, a bold regional campaign celebrating the incredible Caribbean women who are transforming Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics (STEAM).
The launch takes place on World Children’s Day 2025 (20 November), under the inspiring global theme: My Day, My Rights. This year’s focus shines a spotlight on STEAM education as a fundamental right and a key driver of the Region’s digital transformation and sustainable future.
HERizon is all about breaking barriers and building opportunities. Through this campaign, the CGICT Partnership is challenging gender stereotypes in STEAM, boosting digital literacy and skills development, expanding mentorship pathways and inspiring girls and young women across the Caribbean to dream big and pursue careers in technology and innovation.
Over the next two weeks, HERizon will spotlight the voices and journeys of 56 phenomenal CARICOM women whose achievements prove the power of inclusive access to STEAM. Their stories showcase the diversity, brilliance, and leadership fueling the Region’s digital and creative economies.
This is just the beginning! HERizon sets the stage for Girls in ICT Day 2026 (23 April), where the CGICT Partnership will continue championing digital inclusion, innovation, and youth empowerment across the Caribbean.
