Female construction workers in Brazil
Building new lives

DEISE GRAVINA, an engineer by training, had long dreamed of getting women onto Brazil’s building sites. But on a continent known for its machismo, that dream seemed far from reality. Though (as we report in this week’s print edition) Brazilian women have been qualifying as engineers, architects and the like for some decades now, most of them ended up in desk jobs. Female manual labourers were even shorter on the ground.
But about five years ago Ms Gravina talked to women whose children attended a family shelter, the Maria Imaculada, close to some of Rio’s most notorious favelas, about what they wanted from life. They told her that the courses in manicure and hairdressing that they were being offered were of little use, since they would not be able to find such work locally. Meanwhile construction workers’ pay was rising fast, and employers were complaining about labour shortages. The time for Brazilian women to don hard hats, it seemed, had finally arrived.
