Thank you! Best job in the world (after being a surgeon!) is to welcome new surgeons into their spiritual home @RCSnews #HomeofSurgery #LiftAsYouClimb
It’s time EVERYONE involved in surgery and training stands up to make it clear to aggressors that there is NO place for this unacceptable behaviour @wisitalia @WomenSurgeonsUK @svig2 @scarlettmcnally @GinnyAB @SCTSUK @JCST_Surgery @RCSnews #ItsNotBanter #ItsNotJustBanter
Voices behind the mask: unveiling sexist verbal discrimination in surgery
➡️doi.org/10.1093/bjs/znaf110
Surgery remains a male-dominated field where women still face sexist verbal abuse—ranging from blatant remarks to subtle microaggressions that contribute to emotional distress and burnout
Voices Behind the Mask, an initiative by Women in Surgery Italia (WIS Italia), explored the prevalence and impact of this issue through an anonymous international survey
Conducted in May–June 2024, it gathered responses from 81 women surgeons (mostly general surgeons in Europe) and analyzed 150 sexist comments into 8 recurring themes
