This document summarizes statistics on gender representation in leadership positions and participation in the Logic in Computer Science (LiCS) conference from 2013. It shows that women were significantly underrepresented, holding only a small minority of chair, organizing committee, advisory board, and program committee positions. Similarly, few women received awards or had papers accepted. The document concludes by listing several groups and initiatives aimed at supporting women in logic.
