In an official meeting, the Equity and Gender Committee of the Teaching Directorate of the University of La Serena, presented the main challenges for this year to the Rector, Dr. Nibaldo Avilés Pizarro.

The Ethics and Gender Committee aims to build an inclusive environment on the state campus from a gender perspective.

In this context, a joint work meeting was held between the Rector's Office and the Committee, where the work to be carried out in the coming months was defined, with the aim of outlining the functions that each entity that operates in this matter within the University will have. .

In this regard, academic Desirée López de Maturana, member of the Committee as the Gender representative of the ULS before the CRUCH, pointed out that “we see a lot of coincidence in the purposes we have as a Committee and the institutional challenges. The result was very positive, we needed to be able to make ourselves known to be able to articulate ourselves with the new instances and position ourselves in the new scenario that exists around the issue of gender and equity.”

Likewise, the academic representative of the Faculty before the Committee, María Lourdes Campos, thanked the authority for its support. “The most important thing is to be able to count on support and thus be able to carry out the academic objectives that we have set, carry out studies and research to determine the gender gaps that exist at the University and from that support in the generation of equality policies. and gender equity in our institution,” he stated.

The meeting ended with the commitment to make a decree that formalizes the operation of the Committee, whose proposal will be presented by this body in a new meeting to be held at the end of July.
