The South African Women in Science Awards (SAWISA) celebrate 20 years of honoring women who have changed the face of science in South Africa. This special event shines a bright light on women’s achievements, from research breakthroughs to leadership roles, inspiring future generations. Over the years, more women have stepped into labs and classrooms, breaking barriers and reshaping the scientific world. Yet, the journey continues as more effort is needed to reach true equality, especially in top leadership. SAWISA is not just an awards night it’s a powerful movement lifting women up and lighting the path for those who will follow.
