This workshop was organized to analyze the present problems of women as astronomers and to focus on possible ways to improve the situation in view of the various contexts in the different countries.

To set up a framework for this analysis the statistical data from the IAU membership (Bergeron 1992) is presented in Table 1. This table only includes countries with 50 or more members and is ordered by the fraction of women participation; values for the overall membership are included.
