A little about IDWGS..
Women scientists represent only about one third of all researchers and
they tend to have shorter and less well-paid careers that their male
colleagues. They are underrepresented in national science academies and on
scientific publications. The United Nations have proclaimed the
International Day for Women and Girls in Science on February 11 to raise
awareness on the large disparity that still exists between men and women
scientists and to encourage girls and young women to pursue their interest
in scientific disciplines despite the lack of role models. We all gain
from the diversity of perspectives created by ensuring that scientists are
empowered and can contribute to scientific discourse independently of
possibly constraining factors such as geography, gender, class, or
ethnicity.
