Barriers & Bias: The Status of Women in Leadership
There is no shortage of qualified women to fill leadership roles: Women make up almost half of the U.S. labor force. They outnumber men in earning bachelor’s and master’s degrees and are nearly on par in getting medical and legal degrees. Yet from corporate boardrooms to Congress, from health-care companies to the courts, from non-profit organizations to universities, men are far more likely than women to rise to the highest paying and most prestigious leadership roles.
Despite decades of investment in women’s leadership programs, progress in advancing women has stalled. AAUW is committed to closing the gender leadership gap once and for all.

Why focus on women in leadership?
In no country in the world do women have an equal role in setting policies, allocating resources, leading companies, or shaping markets. In many countries, more women are working than ever before, but compared to their male counterparts, they are not earning as much, rising as high, or being afforded an equal voice at work, at home, or in the community. Half the world’s talent is left untapped, and we cannot make progress on gender equality—or any other issues—unless women can achieve their full potential.
From health care and business to public office and the courts, women are underrepresented and undervalued. Yet women’s representation in leadership positions has significant implications for health, justice, and prosperity for everyone.
Women are an untapped and underutilized talent pool. Leadership should look like the communities it serves, and that includes gender diversity in global health.

We are here to change the world.
No matter who you are or where you live, intersectional gender stereotypes are hurting you and those you love. Through film, education, and activism, The Representation Project awakens consciousness, spotlights the cost of these stereotypes, and invites everyone to build a more equitable future.
Millions of people have been touched by our storytelling and reached by our activism and resources. Jennifer Siebel Newsom founded The Representation Project in 2011 with her groundbreaking film Miss Representation, igniting a national conversation about sexism in the media. The Mask You Live In, Jennifer’s second documentary, showcased how harmful American masculinity can be for boys and young men.
These documentaries on limiting gender narratives have been viewed nearly 30 million times, with our film curricula changing the lives of over 2 million students. Siebel Newsom’s prescience has born true: that storytelling opens hearts and minds like nothing else, shifting attitudes and behaviors. This is culture transformation at its best and creates a more equitable world where everyone can reach their full potential.
Together, we are bending the long arc of history toward intersectional gender justice. This is a person-by-person and community movement.
Please join us. We need you.
