About May 12
May 12 is the International Women in Mathematics Day, which has been celebrated worldwide since 2019.
The day is in honour of Maryam Mirzakhani, born on 12 May 1977, the first woman to win the Fields Medal.
May 12 is a joyful opportunity for the mathematical community to celebrate women in mathematics.
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 initiative is supported by several organisations for women in mathematics including Indian Women and Mathematics (IWM).
