Why are so few women in positions of power?
<|assistant|>
Many studies have shown that gender discrimination remains an issue in many places, leading to fewer opportunities for women to gain access to the resources, education, and experience they need to compete for positions of power. Cultural norms that accept and perpetuate gender-based inequalities are a major contributing factor as well as entrenched systems and structural barriers that prevent fairness and equality in the workplace. There are often institutional biases and prejudices that contribute to the under-representation of women in positions of power as well.
