Abstract

Gender equality and women's empowerment are essential for social progress and sustainable development. Gender equality and women's empowerment initiatives have gained traction in the formerly male-dominated construction sector in recent years. The purpose of this part of the book is to discuss the difficulties that women in the construction industry experience, the value of women's empowerment and the methods that may be used to achieve gender equality in the field.
