Gender Equality

Workplace equality

Educational guidance and better representation of different fields and professions is not the only issue at stake in promoting gender equality and diversity in science. Indeed, other processes and legislation come into play in employment and then career development that may be unfavourable to women or men in environments with a very low level of gender diversity.
