Missing Women Engineers! Why aren’t any women engineers found on the head table

Over the years, we have been covering various seminars and gatherings of the engineering community but we rarely come across women engineers on head tables.
Why are women engineers not seen in leadership positions?
In our country where the women population is around 50% this question is very relevant.
When we visit engineering universities there are many female students but after their degrees where have they disappeared?
Indeed, social norms don’t allow many of them to continue. On the other hand, many who have entered the job market are not seen in higher positions.
Why? This is a big question!
When we asked some professional ladies, they blame the male dominating society.
Male engineers knowingly or unknowingly do not give equal opportunities to their female counterparts. They create hurdles in the way of women, this is an opinion of a woman engineer.
When we asked a lady who had previous field experience but is a homemaker now, she replied that as women have responsibilities for their home and kids, therefore they can not continue with their careers.
Whatever the reason, women engineers are not seen as engineering leaders
