Women Can Build: An initiative to foster gender equality in the construction sector

“To the women who want to be part of the construction, I would say to them to have courage, that this is a job opportunity”

“I still have many insertion difficulties today, as far as it is necessary to be very determined, because there are many prejudices”

“If you have a strong and determined character you can overcome prejudices and have many satisfactions”

“I would tell a girl that if she wants to work in construction, to train and work, to never doubt it just because she is a woman”

The ‘We Build Too’ course begins, with the celebration of Women’s Day and the institutional visit of Madrid City Council

“I thought it was going to be a sector with few opportunities, but there are already companies that are calling us to do internships and work”

“I encouraged myself to train because this is a beautiful sector: from scratch you can build whatever you want”

“I thought that being a girl I would go wrong, I would not know how to do it, but I am going fine and I am very happy”

“I don’t think there are tasks for men and women, there are more or less heavy jobs, both physically and mentally, it’s all work”
