Recent studies identify several challenges faced by women in civil services, including systemic biases and work-life balance issues. Women often encounter stereotypes that question their capabilities and leadership potential, leading to reluctance in promotional opportunities. Additionally, many women juggle professional responsibilities with familial roles, which can create added stress. Despite these barriers, women have made significant strides in civil services; ongoing support through mentorship, policy changes, and inclusive practices is vital to overcoming these obstacles and promoting gender equity within the sector.
