An Unfinished Work: Permanence of Women in the Construction Industry
Abstract
Due to the existence of social norms such as gender roles, women are considered from a macho point of view as the human being destined to procreate, to dedicate themselves to simple tasks that do not put them at risk, as well as to be considered as the person in charge of the education and care of their parents and of domestic work. Within the globalized world, this situation has been transformed, and women are increasingly acquiring greater respect for their rights and equal opportunities. Likewise, the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development claims gender equality not only as a fundamental human right, but also as a necessary basis for achieving a peaceful, prosperous and sustainable world. However, despite this and the empowerment that women have acquired, there continue to be situations in which they are discriminated against for the simple fact of being a woman, one of them is in the work environment; in this case, within the construction industry. This qualitative and descriptive research is intended to generate an overview of the situation that continues to exist within the work environment in the construction industry, since it is an area considered only to be exercised by men, which is a discriminatory attitude.
