MAYSSA EL YAZIDI, IAU National Outreach Coordinator from Tunisia, interviews DEBRA M. ELMEGREEN, President-elect of the International Astronomical Union, for the "Women and Girls in Astronomy" project. 

The Women and Girls in Astronomy project supports events that recognise the role of women in advancing science and encourages girls to consider careers in astronomy. The International Astronomical Union (IAU) strongly encourages activities throughout the year, with a particular focus between two International Days adopted by the United Nations: the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11 February and International Women’s Day on 8 March. The IAU programme is a legacy of the IAU centenary.
