Resumo
Nuclear energy is used for the generation of electricity, but also
for the production of radioisotopes, desalination of sea water
and also for the production of hydrogen. Activities in the nuclear
field are in the area of science, technology and innovation that
has long belonged to an essentially male domain, in which the
contributions of women were neglected or underestimated. The
central idea for the creation of Women in Nuclear, WiN Global,
was to support and encourage women working in nuclear science
and technology and encourage the promotion of understanding
and knowledge of the benefits of the peaceful use of nuclear
energy by the public. WiN Global currently has predominantly
female members coming from 129 different countries, belonging
to chapters or individually. Today, WiN Global is integrated by
53 WiN Global chapters. Forty-nine countries have their own
chapters and there are also regional and international ones. The
history of Latin American integration started during the political
independence movement of the countries of the New Continent.
Since then, up and downs were overcome in order to keep a
regional ambiance of good relationship. In the present study, a
new form of integration is presented by the efforts of the women
working in the nuclear ambit. This important movement involves
Latin American WiN chapters (such as WiN Argentina, WiN
Brazil, WiN ARCAL) promoting activities for the integration of
our region. In order to quantify, to some extent, the participation
of Latin American women, this paper presents a survey crossing
data of the number of related publications to help to address an
objective analysis of the trend of this integration.
