In order to increase women's participation in various trades in the construction sector in Pakistan, a survey was carried out to assess gender disparities in various areas. The main objective of this study was to assess and identify gender disparities and challenges for women in entering and participating in the construction sector due to social, cultural, and religious barriers, which are the main hindrances in attaining gender mainstreaming. The study aimed to contribute to drawing up strategic policy guidelines and suggestions to be incorporated through the ILO to contribute to creating conducive working environments for women in the construction sector in Pakistan.
