Although there have been years of struggle for gender equality, this factor continues to be seen in aspects of daily life, one of which is the workplace, where women continue to fight for fair treatment, equal opportunities, and wages commensurate with their work, emonstrating that there is no gap in their skills. To better understand and address the issue, different perspectives on this concept were drafted, as well as the background of the problem and other concepts that arise from it, in order to gain an in-depth understanding of the issue, see its variants, and its repercussions. In addition, 98 surveys were conducted in which we can clearly see the perspectives of both men and women. Using the state of Aguascalientes as a context and with the help of the surveys conducted, we were able to detect the inequality that still exists within industries, while also recognizing its normalization and packaging, making recommendations so that each company's business model leans even more toward equality within its areas.
