International Women’s Day 2022 was on the 8th of March and Site Equip are asking you to #BreakTheBias by supporting and celebrating women in Construction!
International Woman’s Day is a global day celebrating the social, economic, cultural and political achievements of women. IWD is here to call on everyone to raise awareness about women’s equality and encourage them in action it in their daily lives to help the progression of women’s equality.
In addition to International Women’s Day this week is Women is Construction Week. At Site Equip we are using this time to highlight the challenges that women continue to face in the Construction Industry. The Construction Industry is often considered as a ‘man’s world’ but we are here to #BreakTheBias and emphasis that this is not the case. At Site Equip we hire based on skill and ability, therefore we have a large percentage of incredible women working in our construction team.
We believe that is vital that more businesses embrace the power and progression of women in construction, as well as having an equal gender ratio offers a wider variety of skills, viewpoints and creates a diverse and dynamic workplace. Jobs are for people.
In light of this year’s theme, we have asked a few of the women in Site Equip to share their favourite quotes from inspiring women:
Furthermore, here are some organisations that advocate for women:
- International Woman’s Day
- Women into Construction
- Chicks with Bricks
- Women and Manual Trades (WaMT)
- NAWIC (National Association of Women in Construction)
