The global scientific union dedicated to physics, the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP), holds the International Conference on Women in Physics every three years. This year, the 8th edition was organised by India as the host country, in the form of a virtual event organised by the Gender in Physics working group of the Indian Physics Association and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research. The conference brings together men and women from around the world with a mandate to monitor the situation of women in physics in their countries and suggest means to increase gender diversity and inclusion in the practice of physics. The Conference Proceedings available online become a key source of statistics and good practice worldwide. This year, over 500 participants from 70 countries attended. The conference underlined the role of physics education and issues of access and equity in the classroom and assessed practices in physics through an intersectionality lens.
