Purpose
The ESC intends to reinforce its commitment to providing gender-unbiased education, training, research, advocacy, and equal access to all ESC activities. The ESC Task Force on Gender oversees the implementation of the ESC Gender Policy addressing the systemic biases and institutional barriers that limit women's full, equal participation and representation in the ESC and more widely in cardiovascular medicine/science. The ESC is also committed to addressing the misperception of CVD in women, improving risk stratification, diagnosis and therapy from a gender perspective, and increasing women's representation in clinical trials.
