Glass ceilings are the artificial barriers that deny women and minorities the opportunity to advance within their careers

The potential is there for women to achieve an equal footing with men, but the social mores and male attitudes make an effective barrier to women rising above a certain point; this tendency brings to mind a glass ceiling. (Feminism and Women's Studies)

Definition from
Prof. dr Nadica Figar:
„Stakleni plafon“ je granica do koje žene uopšte, a pogotovo žene majke, mogu razvijati svoju poslovnu karijeru.
Example sentences:
Pojam staklenog plafona ili glass ceiling-a široko se upotrebljava od 1987. godine (prvi put upotrebljen 1970. u SAD) da bi označio pojavu nepisane nemogućnosti žena da u poslovnoj hijerarhiji napreduju do najviših rukovodećih položaja. (e-jednakost)
Stakleni plafon je slikovit izraz kojim se ilustruje da u društvima u kojima muškarci zauzimaju većinu pozicija moći žene nailaze na nevidljive prepreke. (fondacija-boell)
Pošto je diskriminacija sasvim realna, ali se javno ne priznaje, često se naziva stakleni plafon, tj. prepreka koja se ne može videti. ( mr Anđela MIKIĆ)
