| Sumario: | The study focused on Sustainable Development Goal 5 (SDG 5), which is aimed at achieving gender equality, with the purpose of highlighting the micro-inequalities that persist in the university environment—particularly within the teaching programs of Economics and Mathematics at the National University of Comahue. Through research that combined a literature review and anonymous digital surveys conducted among the academic community, perceptions of gender disparity were explored.
The results reveal that structural and cultural barriers remain present, and that traditional stereotypes and roles continue to shape women’s experiences. Women often feel the need to constantly prove their worth in male-dominated fields. This situation affects their sense of belonging and participation, creating discomfort when expressing themselves in spaces where they are a minority. Likewise, the study identified experiences of harassment and inequality that are often overlooked within the university setting.
The study concludes that in order to advance toward true gender equity, it is necessary to strengthen education with a gender perspective, implement effective institutional policies, and promote a collective commitment that includes the active participation of the entire university community—especially men—as a fundamental part of cultural change. |
