Careers in the male domain – Female construction workers in Germany | DW Documentary
No other sector in Germany employs as few women as the construction industry. The few female construction workers face many challenges—including sexism. This report follows four of them.
Julia, Frieda, Sally and Anna. Four women who work as bricklayers, carpenters, and construction workers. All four women share a love for their profession—although it can be physically demanding. And all of them have experienced sexism. How do they stand their ground against the macho men on the building sites? And why are women like them still the exception in this line of work?
