The Women Can Build LatAm project presents the Purple Book on Women in Construction (available in Spanish), a key publication that comprehensively brings together the main conclusions on the situation of women in the construction sector and stands as a reference for continuing to promote equality and inclusion within the industry.

This document is one of the most significant outcomes of the project, as it synthesises the conclusions drawn from the initial diagnosis (Status Quo) on women’s presence in the construction sector in the participating countries (Spain, Italy, Chile and Argentina), and sets out a series of action plans and strategic analyses aimed at fostering a more inclusive, diverse and equitable working environment.

Beyond analysing the current situation, this publication offers a critical and constructive perspective on how to move forward by breaking down stereotypes, improving conditions for labour market integration and promoting women’s participation across all stages of the construction value chain.

The Purple Book is also a compendium of learnings, proposals and practical tools that can be adopted by institutions, companies, training centres and sector organisations.
