De afgelopen eeuw zijn de vooruitzichten voor vrouwen en meisjes in de wetenschap over de hele wereld verbeterd, maar we hebben nog heel wat voor de boeg. Door de pandemie komt de beoogde gelijkheid onder druk te staan en boeken we op meerdere gebieden minder snel vooruitgang. Met deze podcast viert het Europees Parlement de Internationale Dag van Vrouwen en Meisjes in de Wetenschap. We gaan in op de rol die vrouwen in de strijd tegen de COVID-19-pandemie hebben gespeeld, hoewel ze zelf ook bijzonder zwaar door de gezondheidscrisis zijn getroffen.
