General scientific and specific research methods were used, in particular: analysis of legislation, scientific and specialized literature, generalization, questionnaire research, systematization, classification. It is shown that gender stereotypes and discrimination remain significant obstacles for women who aspire to occupy leadership positions in Ukraine, which is confirmed by the high level of agreement among respondents regarding these problems. It has been proven that measures to support women's career growth, mentoring programs and flexible working conditions can significantly improve the situation, contributing to the development of female leadership and increasing the effectiveness of organizations. Indeed, the results highlight the importance of eliminating gender stereotypes and creating an enabling environment for women's leadership development. This study contributes to the discussion around gender diversity with the aim of highlighting the unique contributions of women and creating an inclusive environment that will promote the development of women's leadership and overcome gender stereotypes.
