A critical review of gender equality in Dental Science: how to walk the talk
##plugins.themes.bootstrap3.article.sidebar##
Gender equality has become a concern and a topic of interest in science. Thus, this critical review aimed to analyze evidence of the gender gap in Brazilian Dental Science, to discuss challenges, and to suggest evidence-based recommendations. Peer-reviewed publications were assessed, and data were obtained from Instituto Brasileiro de Geografia e Estatística and two scientific agencies, Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior and Conselho Nacional de Desenvolvimento Científico e Tecnológico. In Brazil, women are the majority among all registered dentists (61%), dental specialists (56.2%) and researchers (55.4%). Despite this great progress in female participation in Dental Science, prevailing structural sexism, gender stereotypes, bias, discriminatory behavior, and lack of a welcoming environment may be responsible for some current gender gap. For instance, there is limited representation of women in leadership positions in different domains, from paper authorship to conference speaking and research funding. Available data highlight the need for action to promote diversity and equal opportunities for all to succeed in Dental Science.
