We, the Vietnamese OWSD members, would like to express our great sadness to Prof. Farida Shah’s

family. We thank Farida for her effective contribution to strengthening the role of women scientists in

developing world, especially in the Asia - Pacific region. She was a wonderful friend and a great woman.

We will keep her memory forever.

Dear all,

It's very very sad news for the women’s scientific community. It's a great loss for us. We lost an intelligent

woman in this field. I met with Prof. Farida in a young scientific congress in 2009, Bangladesh. Later I met

with her several times in Malaysia during my PhD study. She was very nice, great and always a very

helpful lady.

I would like to commiserate with the family of Prof. Farida over the demise of a great lady and an icon to

OWSD. Our thoughts and prayers are with you at this time of sorrow. We, in Nigeria pray that God will

give you the fortitude to bear loss. May her gentle soul rest in peace.

News about Prof. Farida Shah made us pause and reflect about the wonderful interactions we had, both

during 2007 & 2010 visits to Beijing.

Planned to meet her, in her home town and the wish is going to remain a wish now.

She left a message, to be focused and committed to the cause of enhancing scientific temper, especially

among women and thus enhancing quality of life, worldwide.

Admirers,

Dr. Kameswari S.V & Dr. Prakash Vinjamuri
