The barriers that exist to womens participation is usually because of some social norms. Such as traditional gender roles. Where this often limits women's involvement in leadership roles and even if they do get the leadership roles. They aren't shown as the people who do it but rather men are. For example, many people believe that only men do farming and rarely any women do farming, but that's not true, there are many women who do farming, being that 30% of farmers are female, but these are the only numbers that were counted as farmers, some women do farming but aren't acknowledged and aren't considered farmer's.
