This diverse panel will summarize known inequities facing women in academic pediatrics, including gaps in compensation, professional opportunities, and academic promotion. Panelists will explore how the current COVID-19 pandemic is exacerbating inequities, and discuss additional barriers faced by women of color. With the problem thus framed, panelists will propose strategies to mitigate gender inequities at the institutional, journal, and societal level. The essential role of male allies will be explored. Audience members will have an opportunity to interact and ask questions via live chat. Participants should leave this session armed with knowledge about the structural and social causes of gender inequity, as well as strategies to address it in their own professional environments.
