Research Involving Women
Gender equality has meant greater interest in research pertaining to
women's lives and experiences, the psychology of women, violence against
women and children, and women's health. Women must be included in research
so they can gain the same benefits and share the same burdens as men.
Precluding pregnant women or those of childbearing potential from the
right to decide whether to participate in research is an imposition on
the women's autonomy and denies the individual woman, and women as a group,
the benefits of research. The TCPS requires that women not be excluded
from research solely on the basis of gender or reproductive capacity.
