ABSTRACT
Women have a crucial role in family and society, as the pivotal point in the family system, in child and elderly care, in many professional fields, and in interpersonal and social relationships. As female professionals working with women who are affected by behavioural addiction, it is our hope and aim to gather information about all efforts dedicated toward improving their situation. International women network is collectively working to bring this to the forefront of scientific and clinical debate – asking questions related to sex and gender differences and bringing together scientific knowledge and clinical experience from all six continents. Worldwide, women paid a high price, both in their personal and professional life, and these trying times have shown that attention to and investment in women's health is of utmost importance.
