Would your work be valued the same if you were a woman instead of a man? What about the other way round? Are parts of your career shaped less by talent and more by gender? In this episode of CIENxCIEN, the Banco de España lifts the lid on the invisible prejudices at work, exploring how gender biases still drive opportunities, risks and appraisals. We need to change the score, not the orchestra, if we want to make the music sing.

We may all be equal under the law, but as a society we’ve still got a lot of learning and understanding to do. So, pull up a chair: diversity affects us all, whether you’re a member of the LGBTI community or not.
