This first edition of the newsletter of  the African Women in Mathematics Association (AWMA) is part of AWMA’s participation in the May12 celebration.

As mentionned in the webpage of May12, « the goal of the day is to inspire women everywhere to celebrate their achievements in mathematics, and to encourage an open, welcoming and inclusive work environment for everybody ». This is in on line with the objectives of AWMA to promote women in mathematics in Africa and promote mathematics among young girls and women in Africa.

Students will explore posters of inspiring women mathematicians and take part in related maths questions, draw portraits, and join discussions to help raise awareness and celebrate their contributions.

The Math Club, PSC, UTAS–Suhar is organizing Math Carnival – Foundations in Fun, in celebration of the International Day for Women in Mathematics 2025.

This event aims to promote mathematical thinking among high school students and to present selected mathematical concepts and phenomena in an engaging and accessible way.
The program includes:
- Several short talks
- A video about Maryam Mirzakhani
- A video on the number π

The event seeks to encourage interest in mathematics and celebrate the legacy of women mathematicians, particularly Maryam Mirzakhani.

To celebrate May 12 – International Women in Mathematics Day, the Institute of Mathematics at the University of Würzburg is delighted to welcome Prof. Dr. Andrea Blunk, Professor of Mathematics and Gender Studies at the University of Hamburg. Prof. Blunk's interdisciplinary work connects mathematics, its disciplinary culture, and gender studies.

As part of her visit, we are pleased to host the following two events, open to students and researchers:

Roda de conversa: onde estamos e aonde queremos ir

Conversation circle: where we are and where we want to go
