But I wonder, if women are equally eager to get this as scientists are eager 
to give it to them. I suspect that there would be certain difference in

Abbreviation for Non-Governmental Organisation - everything from neigborhood 
iniciative for clean playgrounds to big ones like Greenpeace or Amnesty 
International.
