Significant progress has been made toward gender equality in recent years. However, gender inequality persists. Even though women constitute a higher portion of enrollment into undergraduate and graduate levels in universities, gender inequality still exists in other aspects of academia and work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Women continue to be underrepresented in doctoral programs and the job market. Gender power relations remain unequal and women still face various forms of discrimination. Gender-based stereotyping, bias and violence have persisted because of the relentlessness of the rigid cultural gender roles and a failure to normalize gender equality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The culture of sexual discrimination and harassment is still rife in universities and the workplace. Still, it is usually inexplicit because these behaviors are rationalized, or victims are silenced.  In addition to harming women\u2019s self-worth and robbing them of opportunities, this culture also leads to negative experiences among men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Throughout the world, women\u2019s voices are unheard, their work is devalued and their positions are unequal to men\u2019s, be it in the home, nationally or globally. Women are the most underpaid group<\/a>, lack equal access to decent work, bear a disproportionate burden of unpaid care work and have longer workdays than men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This article ranks universities based on their efforts toward promoting gender equality through their research, institutional policies, recruitment practices, enrolment of first-generation female students and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
