“Allowing the conversation to happen and talking honestly and openly will help to demystify sensitive topics. I am a mentor through a UAE women’s Facebook group that is currently sitting on 15k members. I do have my personal network across the industry and we share ideas and best practice, but there is definitely a gap insofar as involvement in groups relating to the construction sector is concerned. The industry is not mature enough but we could learn from other industries, such as the legal sector. I participate in many events, such as round table discussions, on these topics organised by law firms. It is at these events that I establish connections in the construction industry, so perhaps we should put our heads together to build our own groups!”
