The Mexico National Chapter of OWSD was established in November 2021 and is hosted at the Mexican Association for the Advancement of Science (AMEXAC) in Mexico City. It aims to provide a positive force for accelerated changes and permanent reduction in the gender gap in Mexico, particularly in science and technology. It also actively promotes the access of more women to scientific and technological areas and to leadership and decision-making positions.
Host institute location: Mexico City.
