How to Resist Austerity: The Case of the Gender Budgeting Strategy in Andalusia
While most countries have imposed austerity policies that risk jeopardizing the progress towards gender equality, there are examples of European regions that have maintained or strengthened gender‐equality policies in a climate of economic downturn.

A framework to analyse gender bias in epidemiological research
The design and analysis of research may cause systematic gender dependent errors to be produced in results because of gender insensitivity or androcentrism.

Most gender bias can be found in the context of discovery (development of hypotheses), but it has also be…
