Building Women

Are you a woman working in construction who has been overlooked for a promotion, bullied at work or harassed on site, without redress or resolution? Are you a man who's felt pressured to join in with 'site banter' to fit in or seen women mistreated at work but didn't know how to help? The industry is failing women – but it's failing men too.   Building Women is a call to action, showing how we can all work together to promote gender equality, improve the culture in construction and make things better for everyone.
