    This study analyzes the representation of women in student organizations at the Technical University of Ambato. It focuses on the distribution of positions, the presence of patriarchal structures, the roles assigned to women, and the influence they exert in these organizations. A questionnaire validated by expert review and the Aiken V test (values between 0.95 and 0.97) was used. A pilot study demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.98). The sample consisted of 46 representatives of student organizations, both men and women, from the FEUE, LEDU, AFU, and ASO faculties. Data were collected using a 20-point Likert scale. Statistical analyses, particularly chi-square tests, showed no significant correlation between gender and position/role, suggesting a formally proportional distribution between men and women. However, this numerical equality does not eliminate the symbolic and cultural inequalities that persist in organizations. Women were more neutral and dismissed statements about equality, visibility, decision-making, and the value placed on their opinions, while men perceived greater equality of opportunity. This highlights differences in perception and is consistent with theories that point to the persistence of gender stereotypes and structures even in institutional settings that promote equality. The results show that both men and women recognize male dominance in student leadership and the additional effort women must make to achieve similar opportunities. The perception of patriarchal practices was also independent of the level of participation, suggesting that these practices prevail in university organizational culture. In addition, it was evident that support from faculty and family, particularly from mothers, significantly influences the decision to participate as a student representative. Finally, the findings show that formal equality coexists with symbolic barriers and stereotypes that continue to limit the full recognition of women in leadership positions, even though women perceive themselves as sufficiently competent to drive change within their organizations
