| Summary: | [EN] The main objective of this research is to collect, for the first time, data to know the possible discrimination faced by LGBTI+ people in the field of Geosciences in Spain in their daily work environment. Rainbow Geosciences is complemented by a dissemination campaign through social networks and blogs. The goal of this complementary initiative is to increase visibility of LGBTI+ people in Geosciences and to raise awareness of diversity and discrimination issues in the field. A quantitative study was conducted through an anonymous and confidential online survey between May and September 2023. A sample of 35 valid responses was obtained.It stands out that seven out of ten people claim to have suffered discrimination throughout their lives because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, and two out of ten have also suffered discrimination in their workplaces. On the other hand, six out of ten have shied away from sharing aspects of their personal lives in the workplace.The #GeocienciasArcoíris project has allowed to obtain a first approach to the discrimination suffered by the LGTBI+ collective in the field of geosciences in Spain and shows the need and urgency of a more comprehensive research.The rejection that the initiative has suffered in social networks indicates that there is still much work to be done regarding integration, visibility, and normalization of affective, sexual and gender diversity in science. |
