Background

The mission of R-Ladies is to promote gender diversity in the R community. The organization aims to support all underrepresented genders, including but not limited to cis/trans women, trans men, non-binary, genderqueer, and agender individuals. The organization received feedback that not all underrepresented genders identify with the name “R-Ladies”. In April of 2024, we, the R-Ladies Global Leadership Team, opened the “Re-branding from R-Ladies to R-Ladies+” GitHub issue to address the organization’s need to be more explicit about our mission to serve underrepresented gender minorities beyond cis women while preserving the established identity of our organization and also recognizing global variation in the ability to safely do so.

We are excited to share a new collaboration between R-Ladies and Bioconductor, two global communities committed to building diverse developer communities around the world.

R-Ladies is a worldwide organization whose mission is to promote gender diversity in the R community. R-Ladies Global started in 2016 and has expanded to more than 200 chapters across 60+ countries worldwide, with 100K+ members. R-Ladies chapters work alongside other like-minded communities at local, regional, and global levels.
