IPRA 2023 Dorothy Marchus Senesh Fellowship For Women From Developing Countries

Although there has been significant progress in women’s pursuit for equality, there is still much work to be done in order to attain gender equality in our everyday life and in the professional environment. It is regrettable that there are still individuals who are vehemently opposed to gender equality. To overcome these hardships, many fellowships are created in order to provide women with support and opportunities in order for them to proceed with their research.
