Mujeres Con-Ciencia: una mirada a las Geociencias en Uruguay

Visualizing women discrimination in science is fundamental. Here we explore this process and its perception in the Development Program of Basic Sciences-Geosciences in Uruguay. Historical data revealed a higher proportion of female than male students and graduates, which decreased among professional researchers, especially in higher grades and direction roles. However, a survey showed a low perception of this inequality. The existence of imperceptible barriers and its invisibility in the space of the university might explain this phenomenon. Following this discussion will be essential to identify actions and reduce the gender gap in Geosciences.
