Abstract

The commemoration of the International Day of Women and Girls in Science aims to improve girls' access to science and make visible the role of women in the scientific community. In line with the activities that are carried out every year on this date, this article addresses the actions that were carried out in 2023 at the Faculty of Biochemical and Pharmaceutical Sciences of the National University of Rosario (graphic exhibitions, discussions and scientific experiences) with the aim of highlighting the importance of integrating the gender perspective in university education and promoting equity in the scientific field.
