As we mark this year's International Women’s Day, BWI celebrates the resilience, skill, and power of women workers who are defying gender stereotypes and making their mark in traditionally male-dominated industries. From architects designing the skylines of tomorrow to welders fusing the backbone of our infrastructure, and from solar photovoltaic installers driving the clean energy transition to crane operators lifting the world—literally, women are proving that every profession is a woman’s profession!

Yet, despite these strides, women in the trades still face barriers to equal pay, career advancement, and safe working conditions. That’s why BWI continues to push for policies that promote fair wages, gender-responsive workplaces, and better opportunities for women in construction, wood, forestry, and allied industries.

Let’s celebrate the achievements of women in skilled trades while doubling down on our efforts for a just, inclusive, and gender-equal future!
