Abstract
- Objective: To analyse the gender composition of the advisory boards created for the management and policy decision-making during the COVID-19 pandemic in Spain.<br />Method: A peer review was carried out to identify the advisory boards involved in the management of COVID-19 in the autonomous regions and in Spain. Name, number of members, sex and sources of information were collected, and the percentage of women was calculated.<br />Results: At the regional level, the composition of eleven advisory boards was identified, with a mean representation of women of 39.2%; 42.9% at the national level. 75% of all boards represented women below the parity threshold.<br />Conclusions: There is a significant under-representation of women in the advisory boards for the COVID-19 management, which may limit a necessary feminist perspective for the crisis recovery.<br /> (Copyright © 2021 SESPAS.
