The research report of the project 'Lifting Barriers to Gender Equity in the Australian Construction Industry' is out now. Please access it through the below link. This report is the primary outcome of an extensive research carried out utilising a survey with the participation of 441 females across the Australian construction industry and 8 focus group discussions. This report provides recommendations for improving gender equity across 6 areas namely: Recruitment, Policy Formation, Policy Monitoring and Controlling, Industry Practice, Education and Social Networks related to organisational and industry levels in the construction industry. This report specifically discusses different barriers to gender equity of females seperately for different work categories such managerial workers, professional workers, clerical and administration workers, trades workers, operators and labourers. I am thankful to National Association of Women in Construction (AU) for funding this important area of research and Prof.Raufdeen Rameezdeen for being my mentor and Maheshi Tennakoon and Gihan Tennakoon for being the research assistants. This project would have not been a success without all of your contributions, which I gratefully appreciate.

According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), women make up only 28% of the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) workforce. One key factor to this statistic is the lack of role models in the field, making it hard for women to find mentors and advocates. On October 26th, Women in STEM Awards 2023 celebrated the achievements of women in STEM, acknowledging leaders who are paving a path for more women to enter the field. One of our team members, Glenda Deveney, attended this event at the Dublin Mansion House. She left inspired and energized after hearing the accomplishments and initiatives of women making an impact in STEM. Numerous awards and stories were shared throughout the night. Some highlights include:  ⭐A program with the goal of making science exciting for kids through fun activities at camps and birthday parties. ⭐A woman who successfully re-entered the STEM field after a career break. ⭐Rising Stars, who are STEM professionals that are currently in post-secondary school or are recent graduates. Diversity fuels innovation! In STEM, the contributions of women in the field are remarkable. They have led to technological advancements and incredible discoveries that are sparking a flame in the next generation to pursue careers in the STEM field. #STEMDay #STEM #WomenInSTEM #WomenInStemAwards2023 #WomenInTech #Ireland 

“Change education. Educate for change.” This is the aim of the Women's Forum for the Economy & Society (A Publicis Groupe company) at the Global Meeting of this year. Today was the 1st day and Women’s Forum managed to gather together amazing role models with different backgrounds, coming from all over the world. They were radiating a contagious energy, sharing some inspiring life stories and great ideas to progress towards a brighter future. Some warning: - in today’s context of multiple crisis and wars women empowerment is challenged even more, gender fatigue is lurking and bias and stereotypes are on the rise - young generations take for granted the progress that has been made on the women’s condition Some take away that stick to my mind at the end of a full day: - education is a great equilazer of the human conditions - lack of education for girls not only that takes away a fundamental human right, but it’s a loss for the society (socially, economically, politically) - by improving women’s condition we improve the children’s condition as women are the main care giver - by enabling financial independence to women we improve economies - things don’t change over night because of some actions or initiatives, it takes time and persistence to see sustainable results, we shall continue our efforts What to look for in our actions: - act on the culture barriers in the society: human rights education, peace education (eliminating violence), bias education, empowerment education, health and sexual education, etc. - deal with the causes to create safe places - measure the progress through KPIs, show transparency and accountability on the results to enable real progress Today there were serious discussions, genuine emotions shared, but also funny debates, laughter and hope! Can’t wait for tomorrow and then to put in action some of the ideas.

STEM stands for science, technology, engineering, and math. Women in STEM refers to women in these fields. This phrase comes up to represent women in traditionally male-dominated roles. ... https://lnkd.in/eCB28s2X

Let's shine a light on the amazing accomplishments of women in engineering. We're talking about how crucial it is to have different voices and perspectives in the STEM fields. The New Orleans District hosted an event called the Women's History Table Talk. It's all about celebrating and empowering women in engineering. Engineering is no longer just a boys' club. Women have been crushing it in this field, breaking down barriers and paving the way for the next generation of engineers. But here's the thing: we still need more diversity. Getting more women involved in engineering isn't just a feel-good idea; it's a game-changer. Imagine the innovative ideas and solutions that could come from a more inclusive industry. That's why events like the Women's History Table Talk are so important. They bring together women in STEM to share their stories and inspire others. It's all about making sure everyone feels welcome and valued in the world of engineering. So, use your awesome communication skills to spread the word and champion diversity and inclusion in your own workplace. Let's keep pushing for a brighter, more inclusive future in engineering! 💡#engineering #diversity #STEM #womeninengineering #corpsofengineers #communication #women #leaders #leadership #inclusion #equity
