This working group is coordinated by the Office of the Adviser on Gender and Planning and Budget and was formed the same year within the framework of the SAGA-UNESCO International Project.

In this Women's Month, dedicated to promoting equal opportunities in citizenship, we are pleased to disseminate the following communiqué from the Bureau:

We also share a working document that shows the situation of women in the areas of study and work known as STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics). This work shows the unequal participation of women and men in these areas; hence, from the Mesa, we work to make visible and reverse this situation.
