CBT-0014-2021 São Paulo, 8th of March 2021.
Brazilian Tunnel Committee
Dear colleagues from the ITA-AITES Working Groups,
The Brazilian Tunnelling Committee – CBT, as some of you might already know, is organizing a debate with women tunnellers, discussing about the participation of women in the tunnel industry and its challenges, on March 25th, on our YouTube Channel.
Since a couple of weeks, we have reached some colleagues asking for numbers of an estimate of the women’s participation in tunnel projects in their countries. We got already some rough estimate, as most of the countries, including Brazil, do not have precise numbers. Nevertheless, we are still missing the data from many countries.
We have, so far, this estimate for the USA, Canada, Nigeria, Croatia, Turkey, Russia, Poland, the Netherlands, China, Australia, Austria, as well as ITACUS board. Thanks a lot for all the valuable contributions.
If your country is not cited above, it would be great to hear from you, even if it is just an estimate from your own experience, of how many women are involved in the tunnelling industry, in your country. If you have an estimate from 30 years ago and now, that also adds valuable information. We will be deeply grateful for your support. Please, send us an email to cbtabms@tuneis.com.br.
Best regards,
Eloi Palma Filho
