Based on this research, CSOs reinforce gender hierarchies in the workplace. These hierarchies operate on different levels, and these include (1) decision making, (2) positions and ranking, and (3) numbers and representation. Women are often excluded from decision-making positions unless these positions were at an organization that focuses solely on gender or women’s rights. In addition to that, men are often granted leadership positions in the majority of organizations. Often in organizations headed by men, women find themselves completely excluded from major decision-making conversations.
