Take the Faculty of Chemical Sciences at Complutense University in Madrid, for instance...
The Dean is a man. 3 of 5 vice-deans are women. 1 of 2 secretaries is a woman. The head of administration ia a man, then there are four women under him running the sections. As for the departments: 15 of 27 professors of Biochemistry are women 6 of 14 professors in materials science are women In chemical engineering: 2 of 11 "chairs", 7 of 12 tenured professors, 5 of 9 professors under contract, one assistant professor, 2 of 5 associates, 0 of 3 assidtants, and 1 of 2 hired researchers are women 3 of 8 professors of applied mathematics are women In analytical chemistry: 2 of 4 "chairs", 12 of 19 tenured professors, 4 of 6 hired professors, 0 of 1 associate professor, 1 of 3 Assistants, and 1 of 2 research fellows are women 14 out of 42 professors in Physical Chemistry and 3 out of 8 postdocs are women In inorganic chemistry: 2/7 chairs, 12/18 tenured professors, 2 of 4 hired professors, and 5/7 associate professors are women In organic chemistry: 1/10 chairs (4/5 of a lower tier), 7/15 tenured professors (3/3 of a lower tier), 7/10 hired professors, 1/1 associate, and 1/1 assistant are women
As for the student body, it's been over 50% female for years. "It's the statue, man, The Statue."
There is a campaign and support/resources within the UK to get more women into sciences and engineering and to persuade those who left to come back. Add that to strengthening equality/discrimination legislation there is slow change in some universities but not the Redbrick ones to any significant degree.
