This research paper focuses on the diverse problems experienced by women in executive positions. Though women have made great strides towards gender equality, they still face several challenges like stereotypes, the gender pay gap, and the glass ceiling among others. Therefore, this paper aims to explore these incidences using interviews, surveys, and literature that already exists to ascertain if other barriers hinder women’s progress within the commercial world and proposes steps that need to be taken to provide a more conducive atmosphere. The information gathered gives us insights into the fact that ongoing work is required to destroy gender assumptions and help women move up into official posts.
