Women in Construction Week is celebrated annually in the first week of March to appreciate the efforts and achievements of women in the construction industry.  

History of Women in Construction Week 
If we look back in history, the participation of women has been really low in the construction industry. Some of the reasons often mentioned are they are not physically fit for this job, it was a male-dominated sector, it involved working in remote locations and long hours, etc. But over the years women proved they were as capable as men in this industry by completing outstanding construction projects. 

When the Industrial Revolution happened in the 19th century, there was a huge demand for workers, and that was the time when women officially entered the construction industry. 
The Current Scenario 

Despite the significant progress of women at present, only 11% of women are working in construction firms. But the good thing is that women have taken every role in the industry from daily wage site workers, site supervisors, and site architects, to project delivery heads and other executive positions. The contributions of women brought about diversity which not only improved innovation, but also strengthened the teamwork and problem-solving ability within the organization.
