| Sumario: | The present investigation analyses the conditions of gender equality in which the teachers who occupy leadership positions at the Central University of Ecuador (UCE) are found from the perspective of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 5 and its goal 5.5, for which a mixed quantitative and qualitative methodology was used. Although the gender problem in universities is identified and presents a series of implications and/or factors such as the androcentric culture, the lack of historical references, the feminization of private spaces, the minimum organizational areas for women within the universities, lack of gender awareness, differences in leadership styles (prototypes), the university as a reproductive space for inequalities, etc., in response to which agreements, policies, goals, and more have been established; in practice progress is slow. In the Ecuadorian case, the legal framework has played a fundamental role since it has pressured universities to incorporate women into leadership and management positions. The findings show that compliance with SDG 5 and goal 5.5 at the Central University shows progress, but not enough. |
