On this International Women’s Day, SCAR recognises the extraordinary scientific contributions of women working in the Antarctic and Southern Ocean regions, and the tireless support provided by women professionals working in the region to support scientific endeavour. We appreciate that much still needs to be done to ensure equitable opportunities, especially for recognition, access and benefits.
SCAR is committed to the endeavour required to ensure that these equitable opportunities are standard, so ensuring the free and responsible practice of science that is fundamental to scientific advancement and human and environmental well-being.
