On this International Day of Women and Girls in Science, let's take a moment to recognize the remarkable achievements of women in defense and security, including our two exceptional WiDS nominees from 2023.

Their contributions to our industry have been nothing short of extraordinary. From spearheading innovative projects to pioneering new technologies, their impact resonates deeply within our industry.

Despite a shortage of skills in most technological fields, it's sobering to note that women still account for only 28% of engineering graduates and 40% of graduates in computer science and informatics. This underscores the importance of initiatives like WiDS in promoting diversity and inclusion in STEM fields.

Let's celebrate their legacy and reaffirm our commitment to diversity and inclusion in STEM fields. Together, we can pave the way for a brighter and more inclusive future for all!
