Being a woman in a “man’s field” like construction is sometimes tough. Standards for women are higher, we are expected to be more professional than men, more productive and more efficient. Most of the time our male colleagues do not even realize, but we are treated differently and even excluded very often. That’s why gender equality is important. When somebody (male or female) is treated on a different manner, excluded, ignored or underestimated, her/his fundamental rights are denied. I want to see this change.
