Abstract

The gender approach in science considers the diversity of needs according to characteristics such as sex, age, social group, among others, providing a framework to improve representation and participation in the generation of knowledge and innovation to meet these needs and identify appropriate interventions and solutions. However, this is not easy since the exclusion lies in those biases, prejudices and stereotypes, often unconscious. This issue provides a thematic coverage including the epistemology, the history and cases of gender inequality, statistics and reasons for the gaps, and public policy proposals, reporting on progress in methodological and conceptual development and in the current debate on gender in science.
