689 female researchers have written an open letter. They have experienced sexism and transgressive behaviour. Thank you to these women for their courage and willingness to come forward. It is completely unacceptable that this can happen.
Tak til de mange kvinder for deres mod og vilje til at stå frem. Både seksuelt betonede overgreb og en kultur, hvor kvinder får mindre rum, respekt og muligheder end mænd er helt uacceptabelt! Det er en kultur, vi skal gøre op med.
