| Caroline Nyamayemombe, UN Women Viet Nam Country Representative, said that the digital revolution, combined with the rise of ‘green jobs’, offers boundless opportunities. She emphasized the importance of teaching and learning STEM: “We must equip all our children, particularly girls, with the skills to succeed. If girls are not equally engaged in the digital and green economies, we risk leaving half of the population behind in the future of work.” (Photo: UN Women) |
