The Women in Economics Initiative
is a volunteer-run, non-profit association established to advance gender equality in the field of economics. Our goal is to encourage equal opportunity and balanced representation of genders in the economics profession across the academic, business and public sectors.
We want to:

INFORM
by highlighting the valuable contributions that women have already made, and continue to make, in the study and application of economics.

CONNECT
and facilitate a dialogic network across diverse disciplines, sectors, career stages, and countries in order to explore the roles, opportunities, and challenges faced by women in economics.

EMPOWER
people, especially women, to become the agents of change in economics by transforming the discourse in economics by making it more inclusive, dynamic, and effective.
Interactive platform
Our website will provide an open and interactive online platform through which a diverse group of economists, both junior and senior, can communicate to share their research and professional experiences.
Research submissions
We welcome submissions for articles from women economists on their work, and others regarding gender issues in the field of economics, as well as relevant research findings and opinion pieces.
Events
We support women economists in their professional and personal development by hosting skill-sharing workshops, expert presentations and professional networking events.
