United Nations Sustainable Development Goals foster the need for gender equality which opened up the windows for enhancing women career development. Women's career development is more complicated than men. The various internal and external barriers, such as family and related responsibilities, role in life, employment, the surrounding environment, traditions, and stereotypes, which facilitate and limit women's career choice and growth. The purpose of this research was to analyze the obstacles that women face in advancing their careers to senior management levels. Additionally, to gain an insight into the reasons why there are fewer women in management/leadership positions as well as finding out the factors that affect women's ability to advance to higher levels. Extensive analysis of extant literature was conducted whereby conclusions were drawn from the previous studies’ findings.
