520 _aThe occupational health problems faced by women differ from those faced by men, due to the segregation of professions and of the tasks assigned within them, among other things. As the hazards they face are less visible, women may hesitate to report them, for fear of being perceived as weak and out of a concern for protecting their access to employment. Their professional advancement is hindered by this situation, which pits the pursuit of health against the aim of equality, leading to the under-recognition of occupational injuries. We present the stakes revealed by a reform of the Quebec regime relating to health and safety at work in the light of the inclusion of the “specificities” of women’s bodies and social role, and analyze certain improvements obtained by a coalition of researchers, unions, feminist organizations, and public health professionals during the 2020-2021 parliamentary debates.
