Deputy Vice-Chancellor Planning, Finance, and Administration Professor. Suzana Augustino has called on girls to believe in themselves and show society the ability they have in doing various things that are productive and useful for the Nation.

Prof. Suzana said this on February 11, 2023, in the celebration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science held in Dodoma, while contributing to the debate about "The contribution of scientific innovations of women in bringing sustainable development of the country".

She said that, if the attitude of the family and society is positive will help to raise the girl child and woman's confidence to reach their goals.

"Many girls and women in the science sector have been delayed in achieving their goals due to the attitudes they get from society", so the time has come now to support them" emphasized Prof. Suzana

In addition, she urged women and girls not to give up on their dreams of becoming who they want to become by continuing to hold on to their dreams to reach their goal.
