🌟 Empowering Women in Construction: Embracing the Journey 🌟 As we celebrate International Women's Day today - March 8th, I find myself reflecting on the remarkable journey that has led me to where I am today – a journey defined by resilience, courage, and unwavering determination. Growing up in a culturally strict family, the path ahead seemed predetermined, until a pivotal moment changed the course of my life. Sent to Melbourne for my MBA, I embarked on a journey of self-discovery that would challenge me in ways I never imagined. Navigating the construction industry as a woman posed its own set of challenges. From doubting my abilities to struggling with confidence, every step felt like a battle against stereotypes and societal expectations. But within the midst of uncertainty, I found a beacon of hope in the form of supportive colleagues and mentors at BMD Group. Surrounded by individuals who believed in me, I learned to embrace my uniqueness and harness it as a strength. Their encouragement propelled me forward, pushing me to shatter glass ceilings and redefine what it means to be a woman in construction. As I look back on my journey, I am filled with gratitude for the trailblazing women who paved the way before me and the allies who continue to champion gender equality in the workplace. Together, we stand as a testament to the power of resilience and the limitless potential of women in the construction industry. On this International Women's Day, let us celebrate the achievements of women everywhere and reaffirm our commitment to creating a world where every woman has the opportunity to thrive. Here's to breaking barriers, forging new paths, and inspiring future generations of women to pursue their dreams fearlessly. 💪👷♀️ #InternationalWomensDay #WomenInConstruction #Empowerment

This Internal Women’s Day we are celebrating under the theme Count Her In: Invest in Women. Accelerate progress. It is also National Women in Construction week, this year's theme, 'Keys to the Future', celebrates the strength and knowledge of women and the vital role they play in shaping the future of the construction industry. The globe grapples with numerous crises, spanning geopolitical tensions, heightened poverty rates, and worsening effects of climate change. Investing in women can ignite transformative change, hastening the shift toward a healthier, safer, and more equitable world for everyone. Here’s some facts from the UN: - An additional US$360 Billion is required per year to achieve worldwide gender equality. - Closing gender gaps in employment could boost GDP per capita by 20 percent. - Closing gaps in care and expanding services with decent jobs could spark almost 300 million jobs by 2035. Being apart of a community where women do not dominate the workplace has inspired me greatly to set an example for our younger generations and also recognise the ladies who sparked my love for construction.
