Resumen:
To effectively build capacity for STEM research and training across Latin America and the Caribbean a gender perspective must be factored in. Aware of the situation as well as of the multiple personal challenges experienced due to gender disparity a group of Latin American female scientists organized a workshop with the goal of empowering young female scientists and to assess the challenges they face. In this paper we summarize the outcomes of the workshop highlighting the barriers that are common in the region. Among other aspects, the workshop stressed the need of having resource platforms for finding technical and professional networks, jobs and scholarships.
