Raw numbers of women on zoological society boards worldwide.

<p>Pie charts show the number of men and women on the boards of scientific committees across different geographic regions, and society focus (i.e. disciplinary or taxanomic). Darker colours denote women, lighter colours men. Bar graphs show the proportion of societies that have diversity statements (to the nearest percentage). Female symbols represent the average count for the number of women fulfilling leadership roles within a society (president, vice-president, secretary, treasurer) to the nearest decimal place. For example, in Asia: 19% of societies have diversity statements, 358 board positions are taken up by men and 103 by women, and the average number of women in senior board positions is 0.7 (out of four possible positions).
