May the future meet them with more purpose, courage and possibilities . “Excuse me, do you know where A21 is?” November 2023. A new chapter started before they even realized it. A new environment, new learning methods, new faces. A perfect mix of eagerness, a touch of shyness, and a trace of nervousness. “When should we do the discussion?” Slowly, that single question drew everyone together. They went from rushing out of class into separate ways to lingering behind for a chat. At first, there wasn’t much to talk about. Then, slowly, all you could here was codes, annuities, cash in, cash out. Somehow, some way, four months passed. Somehow, some way, another four months passed. They were no longer strangers.

On celebrating this year’s International Women’s Day with the theme “I am Generation Equality: Realizing Women’s Rights”, we try to explore in brief the progress made by women in field of actuarial science and mathematics. There is no doubt that the number of women in the field has widely increased as more women are in the field. The wide spread women empowering campaigns like Women In STEM done by different associations and institutes like African Institute for Mathematical Sciences (AIMS) has definitely given a positive impact. Focusing on Actuarial field the number of registered actuaries in Actuarial Society of South Africa increased from 15% in 2010 to 21.8% in 2016 and speaking of today, this percent is has been anticipated to increase. Happy Women's Day Actuaries! Prepared by; John Kitwika and Muhanad Suleiman
