This thesis investigates the topic of gender equality in public relations and communication in North America and Latin America. By comparing the responses from communication professionals in four regions (i.e., Northern North America, Southern North America, South America, and Central America and the Caribbean), the data confirmed that unequal treatment, nontransparent promotion policies, the lack of networks and development programs, and the limited number of inspiring female role models in those regions are key factors hindering women’s professional development.
