            Fourth SuperNova event will be taking place soon


            ORANJESTAD - On June 13,
            2022,  The  Prime  Minister
            of  Aruba,  Evelyn  Wever-
            Croes, held a press confer-
            ence  at  the  site  of  FUTURA
            to announce another initia-
            tive  of  SuperNova  for  girls
            about STEM.

            SuperNova       contributes
            to  and  stimulates  gender
            equality  as  indicated  in
            SDG  5,  which  guarantees
            that  no  one  is  left  behind.
            The  Prime  Minister  empha-
            sized  the  importance  and
            priority,  as  female  Prime
            Minister, wherever possible,
            to  create  more  opportu-
            nities  and  possibilities  for
            women and girls.

            The  pandemic  hurt  the
            world, but women and chil-
            dren were mostly affected.
