Abstract

The persistent underrepresentation of women in academic leadership roles within science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields poses a significant challenge to achieving gender equity and diversity in higher education. Despite making noteworthy contributions to the field, they continue to face substantial barriers when seeking academic leadership positions. The lack of women in academic leadership roles in STEM is a multifaceted problem with far-reaching consequences. This dearth of representation not only hinders the progress towards gender equality but also perpetuates gender biases and stereotypes, creating an unwelcoming environment that discourages aspiring female scholars from advancing into leadership roles.
