The progressive feminisation of student enrolment in university education is a reality throughout Latin America. However, even though women achieve university degrees in greater numbers and attain the highest university rankings in greater proportion than men, there is a very low representation of women in top leadership positions. This article provides a description of the presence of women in top university management positions in some public universities in Venezuela. Its objectives include understanding the composition of university leadership teams in Venezuelan public universities, and highlighting the gender gap in university positions. It is essential for gender studies related to university activities to be deepened with the aim of uncovering the mechanisms of gender inequality in university institutions that prevent women from fully participating at all levels. Empowering women and promoting gender equity are fundamental actions for accelerating sustainable development.
