By FemCiencias


In the last few years, women are raising their voices to emphasize the catastrophic problematics surrounding them. Thanks to students determined to make a change, many universities are creating initiatives relate to this topic to help them to be more listened to.

In the middle of 2019, students of “PUCP”, a prestigious university located in Lima, created a space focused on woman that were studying Sciences and the faculty of Sciences and Engineering, to learn and reflect things about feminism. Some time later it would be officially known by “FemCiencias”, creating this way a safe place for woman.



Many other universities are being more open about this topic, that years ago was not really talked or taken seriously. In their principal pages, they publish posts about the importance of movements like this, their impact in the last few years and even creating specific sections for this posts, fighting for the equality and raising awarness about this problematic, that we hope one day will be solved.
