Spanish term

en proporción con los hombres

Spanish to English Art/Literary Poetry & Literature Nobel Prize in Literature
This is talking about the gender inequality in the Nobel Prize in Literature (89% of the recipients are men). I can't follow this phrase given the context of these two sentences (it appears twice). I need help figuring out how to phrase this so that the two sentences make sense in English. Thanks!

Si analizamos el continente de origen de las mujeres galardonadas vemos que el continente, ***en proporción con los hombres***, con mayor porcentaje de mujeres galardonadas es Africa con un 25% de mujeres. Aunque de Europa hayan sido galardonadas 7 mujeres ***en proporción con los hombres*** Europeos galardonados (67) representa sólo un 10% del total de Europeos, un número ciertamente muy bajo.

¡Editar la versión en castellano! El fragmento que publicas está pésimamente escrito. Una posible versión correcta sería:
Si analizamos la proporción de mujeres galardonadas por continente de origen, vemos que el porcentaje mayor, 25%, se registra en África.

STRUCTURE Actually it will be a lot easier when you change the sentence structure. It is not even very good in Spanish.

Although 7 women have received this award in Europe, they account for only 10% of the total when compared to the number of male awardees (67). This European percentage is certainly quite low.

in proportion to men (population)

Here is my unpolished translation:
If we analyze the continent of origin of awarded women, in proportion to men Africa has the highest percentage of women awarded with 25%. Although 7 women from Europe have been awarded, in proportion the European men awarded (67), it represents only 10% of the total number of Europeans, a number certainly very low.

relation/relationship

a more fluid way of translating this would be "in relation to men" the idea is the difference in proporcion between women and men but that is genearlly identified by the term relation or relationship and not proprortion in English

Example sentence:

If we analyze the continent of origin women awarded in relation to men, Africa has the highest...
