WomanStats Project

Be sure to check out our most recent blog post written by one of our newest coders! It exposes how societal practices in the country of Papua New Guinea cause women to die from a certain disease at a much higher rate than men. Find the link in our bio!

Happy Monday— and welcome back to meet the coders!

Maria is one of our senior coders in her second year working for us! She’s from Maracay, Venezuela, and became interested in women’s involvement in economic development due to economic collapse in Venezuela.

“I knew I wanted to work with WomanStats because its mission to gather, catalogue, and immortalize information regarding women really was something I felt very passionate about. I knew I wanted to learn and contribute to the growing body of information and analysis on women’s issues, so this was finally my opportunity to do so. Being a part of this incredible research group has made my experience at Bush School so much more well-rounded, and it has allowed me to analyze issues that we all care about in the realm of development and national security with a more well-rounded comprehension.”

We’re so grateful for Maria!
