Women Inclusion Diversity Equality (WIDE)

Mission, Purpose and Principles

Our Mission

Our mission is to celebrate and foster diversity, equity, and inclusion within our organization and the broader community. We are committed to creating an environment where every individual, regardless of their background, feels valued, respected, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Our Purpose

The International Headache Society (IHS) is dedicated to nurturing, promoting, and safeguarding a culture that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI). We firmly believe that assembling a society comprising individuals with diverse backgrounds, viewpoints, experiences, and capabilities enhances our strength and improves our society.

Our most valuable asset is our enriched human capital. The combined wealth of individual differences, life experiences, knowledge, creativity, innovation, national origin, physical and mental abilities, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender and talent that our members contribute to our society constitutes a substantial portion of not only our culture but also our reputation and Societies success.

Our Principles

At the IHS we are committed to fostering a diverse, equitable, and inclusive environment where all individuals, regardless of their background, can thrive and contribute to the advancement of headache science and innovation. We believe that embracing diversity in all its forms is not only a moral imperative but also crucial for driving excellence and achieving our mission.
