-In accordance with the various regulations
governing university teaching, it is necessary to incorporate a gender
perspective into this subject. This includes, among other measures, the
use of non-sexist language, bibliographies that are inclusive from a
gender perspective, and encouraging participation from all students in
class, regardless of their gender. 

 -We
will pay particular attention to identifying and addressing sexist
prejudices and attitudes. We will actively work towards the modification
of this environment and the promotion of values of respect and
equality.  

-Our efforts will focus on detecting cases of gender discrimination and implementing appropriate actions to rectify such cases.
