Despite the growing female interest in gaming, women still represent an alarmingly low percentage of game producers. Thus, a Systematic Literature Review has been carried out to understand what challenges women face within the games industry and what approaches have been made to promote more gender-aware companies. The studies encountered show that gender stereotypes are still highly present in video game companies, affecting the entry and permanence of women in the field. Nevertheless, approaches have been discussed that involve hiring more women, inducing them into leadership positions, and adopting gender-sensitive communication strategies. The results can help future researchers understand which approaches work and which do not.
