Question 13484 — gender equality and parity

Summary

Ms Élodie Jacquier-Laforge questions the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, on the place of women in the scientific world. The last edition of the Nobel Prizes has just ended, it is clear that the representation of women among the winners is among the lowest. They represent 5% of them since 1901 and this is all the more significant in scientific fields. They are very present as collaborators, assistants, spouses, who participate greatly in the work, which without them, sometimes, would not even succeed but they are not often rewarded. And when this is the case, it is not uncommon that they have to “share” their prize with a man. Even today their role is therefore minimized or not recognized. While the 27th Science Festival has just ended and one of the ministry's central themes in 2018 was gender equality, she asks what the Government intends to concretely implement in order to promote fair recognition of the role and skills of women scientists.
