Join this inspiring journey!
Growing up they said science wasn't for women, but every day proves that the space we want, can and will be ours! From the Americas to the Caribbean islands, women and girls are making our mark by defying stereotypes and overcoming barriers to take our space in science.
This article highlights the diversity of young and adult women who make IPPF ACRO a region with a heart for communities and their people. Learn about these incredible women and their experience in science and how they contribute to the area of sexual and reproductive rights,
These women scientists have not only expanded our understanding of the world, but are also inspiring future generations of girls to pursue their own scientific passions through their courage, ingenuity and resilience. Let's inspire more women and girls to join the exciting journey of scientific knowledge in the Americas and the Caribbean!
