The Committee on Gender Equality of TWAS recently met. This meeting was chaired by Dr. Marcia Barbosa from Brazil, with the participation of TYAN representatives Butch Cervera (from SAPREP), Khademul Islam (from SAPREP) and Pablo Bolaños (from LACREP), plus several other TWAS female affiliates. The committee is working on concrete action plans to increase the representation of women at TWAS such as election quotas, especially for women hailing from the Least Developed Countries (LDCs).
