Abstract

The article addresses the presence of female leadership in the academic field, focusing on public universities in Sinaloa, Mexico. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating the progress of women in positions of power, advocating for the implementation of university policies aligned with national and international standards to promote gender equity. Its objective is to analyze the positioning of women in high-level leadership positions within these institutions, establishing an empirical basis that reveals presence and numerical proportion from a gender perspective. The data were collected from the review of institutional organizational charts and information available on the National Transparency Platform corresponding to the 2023 fiscal year. The results of the analysis show that, on average, 36.5% of high-level positions in the studied universities are held by women, which is also evidenced in an uneven distribution of enrollment. Despite the progress made, gender gaps and inequalities persist, highlighting the need for attention and action to foster significant change towards equality and diversity in the academic field.
