Abstract
Neurosurgery is still dominated by men, with only 16.7% of neurosurgeons being women and even fewer in leadership roles. This disparity affects research, patient care, and health policy. To enhance care and equity, addressing barriers for women through targeted mentorship, inclusive practices, and policy changes is essential. CORRESPONDENCE: Despite significant progress in medical education and practice, neurosurgery remains a male-dominated specialty. This gender disparity is not merely a reflection of societal biases but a systemic issue that affects both the professional advancement of women and the quality of care delivered to patients. As the global health community strives for equity, the underrepresentation of women in neurosurgery demands urgent attention.
