The More Women in Research manifesto

The More Women in Research manifesto is a powerful call to action aimed at addressing the significant underrepresentation of women in academia and research at all levels, particularly in Africa...

The history of the Community

The More Women in Research community brings together women researchers from across the Danida network and beyond, creating a space to share experiences, strengthen professional connections, and advocate for gender equality in research and academia.

Join the Community

Whether you are a female Danida fellow or a woman researcher elsewhere, you are warmly invited to join the conversation, help amplify the manifesto, and support the implementation of its recommendations in your own context – whether at university level or within other institutions, backed by a range of stakeholder groups.
