Impact in numbers

OWSD is a vibrant network of relationships and resources, each contributing to the overall advancement and prosperity of women in STEM across the Global South. At the core of the OWSD ecosystem is a feedback loop. Women scientists from developing countries share insights and experiences from their local contexts through OWSD membership forums and National Chapters. OWSD executive board regional representatives collect this rich information and report to the executive board about specific and diverse challenges facing women in STEM around the world. The OWSD Secretariat processes this information, in consultation with the chapters and other partners, to create comprehensive reports and strategies and develop robust programmes and initiatives which positively impact women, science, and communities. Women recipients of OWSD programmes in turn spread the word, raise visibility and establish further national chapters, which provide a source of information and engagement for incoming women scientists.
