Short summary
We present the results of a theatre-based project designed to promote gender equity in science, technology, engineering and mathematics disciplines. We use Theatre of the Oppressed techniques to promote discussions about issues concerning the access, permanence and ascension of women in exact and Earth sciences careers. The scenes are able to show that, in general, these issues relate to other causes, and the paternal culture, and reveal how all kinds of harassment can take place in academia.
