Day of Women and Girls in Science

For the eighth consecutive year, the International Day of Women and Girls in Science is being commemorated, established by the United Nations General Assembly in 2015, whose purpose is to strengthen the presence of women and girls in the science and technology communities.

Given that the scientific field has historically been configured around patriarchal logics, CLACSO-FOLEC celebrates policies, programs and initiatives that aim to guarantee the full and equitable integration of all marginalized women and gender identities in the academic field.

We also emphasize the importance of a gender perspective in research agendas and scientific evaluation so that knowledge is for and with women.

We share different activities that CLACSO-FOLEC has recently developed on this topic.
