Abstract

Women should make up the domestic labor force and the political and social organization of the country; additionally, female participation will correspond with creation and production realms, and decision-making processes. To what extent that women are in power, society will balance male and female composition, and all diverse women produce situated perspective that eventually contributes to the knowledge and the social organization. Women access to power is not a matter of number equality but power redistribution in every dimension of social life: policies, science, quotidian and values in society. In this historical era, the women ideas and contributions were not wasted as happened in the past, they have a primary role in the present and future. This article focuses on female responsibility positions in the scientific institutions, in their roles previous to the pandemic and what they need to take on to lead the future.
