Tribute to the inspiring founder of Girls Who Code, who will partner with Clé de Peau Beauté to launch the 20 Under 20 campaign
TOKYO, March 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Clé de Peau Beauté, the luxury skincare and makeup brand, is proud to announce the recipient of the 2024 Power of Radiance Awards: Reshma Saujani, based in New York, USA The Power of Radiance Awards recognize women taking action in their communities advocating for girls’ education, especially in STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) fields. Reshma Saujani has dedicated herself to empowering girls in computing by founding Girls Who Code, an international nonprofit organization working to close the gender gap in technology. Since its founding in 2012, Girls Who Code has built the largest pipeline of female and non-binary computer scientists in the world. A decade later, the nonprofit had served more than 500,000 students through its innovative programs, and its students were seven times more likely to earn degrees in computer science and related degrees than the national average in USA[1]
Clé de Peau Beauté believes that the key to a better world lies in unlocking girls’ potential through STEM education. Through this belief the annual Power of Radiance Awards were born. This same belief is behind the brand’s multi-year partnership with UNICEF, which addresses gender inequality with a focus on STEM in education, employment and empowerment programs for girls. STEM fields are critical to developing solutions to the many challenges facing the world. Empowering half of the world’s population of girls and women in these fields will ensure a radiant, inclusive future shaped by innovation and progress without gender boundaries.
Reshma Saujani and Girls Who Code are on a mission to close the gender gap in new entry-level tech jobs by 2030. An ambitious goal that sees this gap widening by 13% compared to almost 30 years ago[2] . A lawyer, politician and public official, it was during Reshma Saujani’s campaign for US Congress that she visited local schools that she saw computer classes filled with boys and few, if any, girls. This instilled in her the need for a cultural shift to address the gender gap, a fight she continues today in her role as founder and CEO of Moms First.
As the winner of the 2024 Power of Radiance Awards, Reshma Saujani will receive a grant that will help build momentum and expand the reach of her mission. Reshma Saujani will also spearhead the 20 Under 20 campaign with Clé de Peau Beauté. Given that the largest drop-off for girls in computer science occurs in middle and high school[3], this campaign seeks to intervene and encourage girls to stay on the path to higher education and careers in STEM. The campaign will provide 20 girls under the age of 20 in the US with exclusive experiences, including access to Clé de Peau Beauté’s advanced research facilities, scientists, mentoring and grants to support their STEM pursuits.
Reshma Saujani commented: “Showing these girls the beauty of STEM and connecting them with role models is of utmost importance as they make plans for their future – that’s what Girls Who Code is all about. After all, you can’t be what you’re not. “You can see. Today, only 28% of IT jobs are held by women. We all have a role to play in ensuring we don’t leave women and girls behind in the jobs of the future.” , and Clé de Peau The Power of Radiance de Beauté Awards are building momentum behind the cultural shift needed to close the gender gap in STEM.”
Mizuki Hashimoto, Brand Director of Clé de Peau Beauté, commented: “Ms. Saujani’s unwavering commitment to empowering girls and women through Girls Who Code aligns perfectly with our mission. We are dedicated to achieving gender equality. “gender in STEM and beyond. Collaborating with Girls Who Code and Saujani on the 20 Under 20 campaign is an opportunity for us to do more to promote gender equality and level the playing field for girls in STEM.”
