Official launch of Phase 2 of the Landmark Study on Gender Equality in the Global Space Sector

We are excited to announce the launch of Space4Women Landmark Study on Gender Equality in the Global Space Sector, with Phase 2 focusing on Experiences of Women in the Global Space Sector and Gender Representation and Policy Uptake in the Private Space Sector.

This report comprises two parts, launching the UNOOSA Phase 2 research into gender equality in the space sector. The first part of this report focuses on women’s experiences in the sector, while the second part provides information on gender representation in private space organisations and examines policies or interventions that advance gender equality. The purpose of both is to drive transparency, action, and progress towards equality and inclusion in humanity’s ambitions in space. Not only is this critical to the Space2030 Agenda and the Sustainable Development Goals, but it is also a moral and strategic necessity.

This study was made possible through the generous financial support of the Republic of Korea, the Korea AeroSpace Administration and Korea Aerospace Research Institute (KARI), whose commitment to advancing gender equality in the space sector is gratefully recognized.

UNOOSA also acknowledges the valuable support received from a wide range of stakeholders who helped disseminate the call for participation and contributed to the success of this initiative. This includes Permanent Missions to the United Nations, national space agencies, civil society organizations, private sector entities, and advocacy groups. Special thanks are extended to our Space4Women partner, the Cosmic Girls Foundation.

Join us on 23 September at 02:00 PM (CEST, Vienna time)
