Reyna Quispe, now a leader in the Association of Women in Construction, has faced severe sexism in her career but is now fighting for equal opportunities and advocating for legislative change.
Asomuc, the Association of Women in Construction, presented a draft law aimed at achieving greater equity and equal pay for women in Bolivia's construction sector on International Women's Day.
Despite the challenges, including a 38% wage gap and workplace harassment, women like Quispe are determined to prove their skills and advocate for their rights in a male-dominated industry.
The International Labour Organization reports that an estimated 21,000 women are employed in Bolivia's construction sector, with many facing abuse, violence, and significant barriers to advancing professionally.
