Traditionally, welding, fabrication, mechanics and electrical work have been male-dominated fields.
However, a growing number of young females are breaking barriers and pursuing these courses at both secondary and tertiary levels.
On this year's International Day of the Girl Child, the spotlight is being shone on how programs supporting girls in these fields are empowering them to challenge stereotypes and build brighter futures. 600 million adolescent girls worldwide represent infinite possibilities for a brighter future.
Empowering them to exercise their rights and access opportunities today will propel societies towards a better tomorrow.
