Estimados organizadores y organizadoras La experiencia vivida en Oaxaca en el encuentro de Mujeres en Matemáticas en Latinoamérica ha sido realmente de gran impacto para mí y ya estoy comenzando a volcar lo aprendido en mi país. Siempre me interesé y me ocupé en mis trabajos por la dimensión de género, pero lo hice sola, y sin darle tanto de mi tiempo ni de mi esfuerzo. El conocer con cifras objetivas, y también a través de experiencias subjetivas, la situación en Latinoamérica, me ha ayudado a tomar conciencia más profunda de esta problemática y tomo como compromiso a partir de ahora, trabajar mas arduamente por la inclusión y desarrollo de la dimensión de género en las actividades que realizo profesionalmente y también a través de la Sociedad Matemática Paraguaya. Muchas gracias por apoyar esta clase de encuentros y muchas gracias por invitarme. Nos falta conquistar a la mitad de la población
Thanks to CMO-BIRS and the organizers for the great atmosphere for scientific interactions. I got to make several new contacts I wouldn't have made otherwise, and also caught up with colleagues I hadn't interacted with for a while.
Me pareció un excelente evento, desconocía varios de los temas que se trataron y realmente me llamó mucho la atención todo. Un excelente trato por parte de todos los participantes y organizadores y me inspiraron a seguir leyendo sobre esos temas e indagar por nuevos.

The workshop was very insightful since I was able to learn a lot about gender issues in mathematics, also by listening to the experiences of the other participants of the workshop. I intend to apply many things I learned in my home university and in my country, in order to help in the promotion of women in mathematics.
Thank you to the organizers of this workshop. I was happy to learn a bit about the career of many established women in mathematics, information I hope to use as a guide now that I am in the job market while about to finish my first postdoctoral position. Moreover, I had the opportunity to hear about research and travel grants for latino-american women, that I will possibly apply for. And I was excited to hear about the work of several participants of the conference, whose research interests and/or outreach activities overlap mine.
CMO-BIRS workshop has a very positive impact on my life. It marks the beginning of a new phase in my personal development. I have learned a lot about barriers to gender equality all over the world and, in particular, in Latin American countries. During the workshop we discussed about the complex challenges our society face and consequently, makes me think about many things we can do in Argentina. As my students are also interested in gender equality, I hope we can do a good work in our university. The workshop has given me the opportunity of knowing very interesting women. I have many new contacts and Facebook friends. In my research area as mathematician, the exchange of ideas and information with women from different countries was very fruitful. In particular, I will intend to work in collaboration with Victoria Hernandez from Cuba. We will study wave propagation in plate structures with finite element methods. I am very grateful to CMO-BIRS for giving the opportunity to participate in this women meeting.
I would like to thank you for this beauty conference and I really liked it a lot. The level of the presentation was very good, the womans were amazing prepared and it was nice to see this intercontinental and international cooperation of womans in math. It was a pleasure for me to meet these ladies, also to see the organisation site of the conference and meet new mathematicions but also friends.
