1. First step was to join the potential members.
2. Update of the mailing list of women neurosurgeons around the world.
3. Contact of organizing committees of meetings and congresses to have the possibility to organize WIN session; by this way we could:
    - Organize the First WIN session during the 7th Maghrebian Congress of Neurosurgery in Nouakchott (March 2018). The session was mainly scientific and a lot of participants join this session in spite that there was another parallel session. The first female neurosurgeon from Mauritania could give a presentation during this session (program and photos are below). During this congress, 3 awards have been given to the best e-poster and one of the awardees was a young female resident from Algeria.
