This article aimed to address the challenges faced by women when compared to men to achieve and perform in leadership positions within the corporate environment, seeking to present the difficulties faced, taking into account various factors such as inequality and gender equity, in addition to the existing historical prejudice in relation to the presence of women in organizations. For more assertive results, exploratory and quantitative field research methods were used, where a 12-question questionnaire was developed for women who work or have worked in the field of leadership, with the premise of identifying the challenges faced to reach their respective positions. In a quantitative analysis of the research, data was calculated, concluding the existence, even today, of discrimination and inequality of opportunities for women in the corporate environment, with a smaller number of women working in leadership positions in companies.
