EURETINA White Paper: Facing up to Gender Inequality in the Field of Retina.

Abstract

Despite some advances in recent years, the harsh reality remains that the field of retina, albeit far from being the worst offender, falls well short in the quest for gender equality. EURETINA is fully committed to playing its part at an institutional level in making the field of retina a truly egalitarian, diverse and positive environment of which we can all be truly proud. To shed light on the extent of gender inequalities in the subspecialty and formulate possible measures to improve the situation, EURETINA commissioned an online survey to understand the perceptions and experiences of women working in the field of retina. Taking into account the survey results, EURETINA recently launched a dedicated Women in Retina (WiR) programme, which seeks to support the professional development of promising female retina specialists through a variety of measures. The survey results and the practical measures being undertaken by EURETINA are outlined in a White Paper ‘Facing up to Gender Inequality in the Field of Retina’.
