Challenges facing women in construction industry
Stereotypes: "Too physical for women"
Harassment: 41% of women report incidents
Education Gap: Only 5% of women enroll in STEM
Pay Gap: Women earn 23% less than men
By investing in women, this industry will get a new shelf of life. We want to see women not being victimized by the other gender in construction sites. Women must be respected and we want to bring sanity within the industry where women have a voice.
