The Argentine Federation of University Women (FAMU) was found in Buenos Aires in july 21th of 1936 by prestigious profesional women of academic level, who were inspired and lead by María Teresa Ferrari de Gaudino, medical doctor and first woman in Latin America who became appointed university professor at the Medical School of Buenos Aires in1927.

No doubt FAMU's spirit has been fostered by the same ideals wich guided International Federation of University Women (IFUW), born in 1919 under the motto of Peace and put an end to any kind of war.

March 8, 2009: International Women Day

Woman Bridge by Arq. Santiago Calatrava ( Puerto Madero - Buenos Aires - Argentina)

The woman winning space through time:
The woman in places of being able.

This year 2009 we considered the role of women in positions of power, once it has reached the highest places of decision and responsibility, understanding the "power" as the ability to generate action. To do this we must:

• Focus on our status as "persons" instead of belonging to genus
• To emphasize the convergence of thinking rather than expanding the divergence
• Requiring the equality of opportunity and fairness in ratings and earnings
• Strengthen the spaces instead of the real marketing of the genus
• Spreading the benefits of complementary perspectives
• To be considered "peers" intellectuals
• To exercise the power responsibly, take care of the consequences of

In this March, in the Commission on Status of Women CSW-53-United Nations, defended the postulates shall we bring together representatives of our UNITRE and FAMU, the panel of the International Federation of University Women. This participation represents a clear example of the spaces where we can make our concerns known. See more...

Celebrate "our day" thinking what contribution we can make each of us from the place where we can generate some change and recognize that we who must give account to the next generations of women, the role we play in our society .

Happy Day!!
