DE TORRES SOTO, María Luisa. Higher education in Spain in 2020: challenges to achieve equal opportunities. rev.ces derecho [online]. 2020, vol.11, n.2, pp.160-178.  Epub July 30, 2021. ISSN 2145-7719.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesder.11.2.9.

The European Higher Education Area (EHEA) in accordance with arts. 9 and 14 of the Spanish Constitution and the current Organic Law 3/2007, of March 22, for the effective equality of women and men (LOIEMH) has advanced in the objective of including more means that allow offering in practice the same opportunities between women and men. At the University, numerous efforts have been carried out, consisting mainly of the transmission of essential and transversal values in the study plans and the creation of organizational structures that promote respect and equal rights and opportunities. The main pending challenge lies in the still existing difficulty for effective access for women to senior management and government positions. Overcoming this vertical segregation still requires significant progress to reverse the socalled “leaky pipeline” effect.

Keywords : Equality; University; opportunities; responsibility; conciliation.
