Question 19675 — gender equality and parity

Summary

Ms. Céline Calvez draws the attention of the Secretary of State to the Prime Minister, responsible for equality between women and men and the fight against discrimination, to the issue of promoting gender equality in the guidance of students. On May 31, 2018, Ms. Céline Calvez and Mr. Stéphane Viry submitted a report entitled “Women and science: urgent action for real equality”. This work showed that women still occupy too little a place in the so-called “hard” sciences and that despite certain advances, the situation is only evolving very slowly, or even going backwards. This imbalance is found in the choice of options at the end of school, and throughout professional life. 23 recommendations are made in this report. The seventeenth is to develop and systematize “role models” in the educational world and, more generally, throughout society. A “role model” is an example, an inspiration. Several studies have shown that the example of women scientists tends to encourage young girls to believe in their abilities and to plan for such careers. This is why she asks him to what extent the current and future reforms are intended to increase the role models of women working in scientific fields.
