Role of women in Civil Construction Industry

From the starting of the course, i wish to see and analyze the problems faced by the labours in the construction industry, especially those face by the women and try to have a solution to them. But we couldn't have it in our portion, so i thought of having a discussion in here on this topic. I read many publications on this issue but only very few of them were good at explaining the real problems faced by them. Here is one of the very best article. It is a kind of survey and view of the real women workers in the industry.

National Commission for Women
Status of Women Construction Workers

Although organizations like National Association of Women in Construction (NAWIC), but how much extend they solve the problems. A lot of public hearing of women construction workers have been held in various cities under the National Commission for Women, but i really doubt whether it is being implemented properly or not. The main reason for the negligence of this problem is may be due to the less percentage of their constituency in the industry.
