The Standing Committee for Gender Equality in Science (SCGES) was established by 9 International Unions, including IMU and has already 17 partners.  First annual report available here.  The purpose of SGES is to circulate information among its partners, and promote cooperation on among them, in particular by supporting women and girls’ equal access to science education and fostering equal opportunity and treatment for females in their careers.

Links to texts related to the COVID-19 crisis and its consequences for women in mathematics or more generally in science.and brief contributions written during the second half of April 2020 by CWM members and CWM ambassodors from different countries all over the world on what the COVID-19 crisis has meant for their lives as women in mathematics.

The  Gender Gap in Science Book can be found here. It can also be ordered as a printed book through many retailers worldwide. For example on Book Repository

A booklet in several languages summarizing the results of the project and presenting its recommendations can be found here.

Remember Maryam Mirzakhani is an exhibition with 18 original poster. Institutions interested in hosting the exhibition can consult the rules of use and contact CWM at exhibition-cwm@mathunion.org. The exhibition opened at (WM)², the World Meeting for Women in Mathematics, and remained open during ICM 2018. It contained also a book of condolences, and volumes with Maryam Mirzakhani's mathematical papers as well as a book with papers about her. Curator: Thais Jordao. Designer: Rafael Meireles Barroso.

A 20-min film created by the IMU Committee for Women in Mathematics, filmed and edited by Micro-Documentaries, made possible by a grant from the Simons Foundation.

Its first version was premiered at the first World Meeting for Women in Mathematics (WM)².

Members of the CWM are appointed for four years by the IMU Executive Committee and are widely distributed internationally. The CWM has a chair and vice--chair and 6 to 8 members--at--large. One of the CWM members is responsible for the CWM website and electronic communication. See list of members here.

CWM is using its sponsorship to help establish and foster networks of women mathematicians especially in Asia, Latin America and Africa.  From 2015 to 2019, CWM sponsored events took place in Colombia, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Mexico, Senegal, Tunisia, Kenya, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Iran, Japan, Morocco, Nepal, South Africa, Vietnam, Austria, El Salvador, Ethiopia,  Italy (ICTP), Macedonia, Nigeria, Uruguay, Uzbekistan, Cameroon, Argentina, Dominican Republic.
