Women in construction continue to experience isolation, discrimination, and barriers despite initiatives by Ontario to recruit more women. Workers like Samara Sampson highlight the need for mentorship and better facilities, addressing social isolation and harassment. Although progress has been made with more women on-site and specific training programs, challenges remain, such as inadequate restroom access and insufficient childcare options. With Women in Construction Week aligning with International Women's Day, advocates assert that more must be done to foster an inclusive environment in the trades.
Despite increased initiatives and recognition during Women in Construction Week, women in trades still face significant challenges such as social isolation, inadequate facilities, and discrimination.
Samara Sampson notes the rise of women in construction, but emphasizes the need for better support systems like mentorship and safe restroom access on job sites.
