On the eleventh of February, the world celebrates the "International Day of Women and Girls in Science". This occasion calls upon us, as healthcare professionals, to reflect on the fundamental role women play—not only as caregivers but also as scientists and researchers in nursing sciences and holistic healthcare. First: Nursing as a Science of Equal Importance to Medicine While nursing has long been perceived as a secondary profession, professional and ethical realities prove it to be a science based on research and evidence (Evidence-based Practice). Today, women in the field of nursing science are leading research in: • Improving patients' quality of life and precise clinical assessment. • Developing culturally sensitive healthcare protocols. • Innovating in harm reduction and infection control techniques (Non-Maleficence). Second: The Ethical and Professional Responsibility of the Scientific Woman Just as in complex public health issues, international organizations such as the World Health Organization emphasize that the presence of women in scientific and nursing decision-making centers ensures a more effective application of "Non-Maleficence" principles. The woman’s role as a "Patient Advocate" requires her to be armed with science and legal awareness to provide correct scientific counseling. Third: Interventions to Empower Girls in Health Sciences The role of nurse leaders in promoting this day is reflected in three key points: • Professional Role Modeling: Demonstrating nursing as a scientific research career path that requires high analytical skills, rather than merely a procedural job. • Evidence-Based Health Education: Utilizing the "scalpel of awareness and science" to change erroneous health behaviors in society. • Supporting Young Leaders: Encouraging newly graduated nurses to engage in scientific research and postgraduate studies to ensure the dignity and development of the profession. Conclusion Eradicating health ignorance and improving the efficiency of medical systems requires the full and equal participation of women in the field of science. As nurses and health practitioners, we are considered the most influential force in changing reality. Let our weapon always be science, and our goal be the protection of the human being and the assurance of their health dignity.
