Clinical Trial Summary

our study explores how GD is perceived and reported by surgeons in Pakistan.

Description:

Due to an increasing spotlight, gender discrimination (GD) is identified and reported in many aspects of surgical training and practice in the developed world 1, 2. In contrast, lower-middle-income countries like Pakistan lack awareness and strategies to counteract GD, which manifests as a lack of females in leadership and academic positions, and pay inequities. GD often occurs insidiously, as a result of complex interplay between societal norms, gender stereotypes and learned behaviors. Thus, our study identifies how GD is perceived and reported by surgeons in Pakistan.
