build a supportive and inclusive community for female and non-binary engineers
increase retention of women within the sector
support women returning to the industry
inspire young female and non-binary students to join the industry
amplify the diverse voices of women in the construction industry
we are
led by a group of female and non binary engineers from the built environment who strive to represent all women in engineering
for all female and non-binary professionals in the built environment
supported by all allies to the cause
we will
research the inequalities that women still face in the industry
raise awareness of gender inequality in the industry through public talks and resources
propose actions to make the profession more equitable
build a strong collective of female and non-binary engineers by creating inclusive spaces for knowledge sharing and socialising
establish a mentorship programme for female and non-binary engineers in the built environment
