dc.description.abstract Abstract: Introduction: Global surgery is an area that advocates for better outcomes and equity for everyone who requires surgical, anesthetic, and obstetric assistance. In Brazil, although women represent 46.6% of medical demographics in 2020, gender equity disparities persist in surgical specialties. The objective of this article is to report the experience of the mentoring program from the Gender Equity Initiative in Global Surgery as a mechanism for promoting gender equity. Experience report: The voluntary and non-profit program aims to train, empower, and amplify voices of gender minorities. It is based on the creation of small heterogeneous groups, with different degrees of academic and professional experience. Applications are made via an online form, with questions related to the identity, interests, and expectations of applicants, and the groups are organized according to this information. Mentors are selected based on the level of training, specialty, gender identity, and expectations. The participants then have three follow-up sessions conducted by completing questionnaires. Discussion: The need for programs like this during the pandemic is evident, proving to be a positive initiative to develop strategies to tackle the challenges experienced. This report provides an overview of how a mentoring program can contribute to greater adherence for medical students to pursue careers in surgery, anesthesia, and obstetrics, promoting gender equity beyond the binary perspective and discussing the main difficulties in establishing similar programs in Latin America. Conclusion: It is necessary to reinforce that educating and supporting women (cisgender and transgender) and non-binary gendered people are not enough, but to educate society to understand gender identities beyond the binary perspective, recognizing the impacts on work relationships and career perspectives, especially within the surgical field en_US
