Breaking Barriers: Gender and Social Justice in Construction

During the webinar, we’ll explore how Ukraine’s construction sector can support veteran reintegration, empower women, address systemic barriers, and apply practical strategies for creating inclusive, people-centered spaces and communities.

Join us to learn how to build with care!

Circular construction is about people — about designing and shaping sustainable environments where everyone, regardless of gender, background, ability, or social status, feels seen, included, and protected. Despite progress, the construction sector in Ukraine and globally remains one of the least inclusive, with gender bias, a lack of accessible design, and the underrepresentation of women, veterans, and marginalized groups in urban decision-making continuing to be systemic challenges.

What to expect:

  • Speakers with expertise related to GEDSI instruments
  • Identifying and navigating systemic barriers in the industry
  • Approaches for designing inclusive, people-centered spaces that promote equity and dignity

Speakers:

Priya Perumal – Chief Scientific Officer at C2CA Technology B.V. (Netherlands) and Associate Professor at the University of Oulu (Finland).

Iryna Haluzіnska – Project Manager of Praktyka at Veteran Hub, a Ukrainian NGO that focuses on veteran inclusion and integration.

The webinar is part of the Safe, Sustainable, and Swift Reconstruction of Ukraine (S3) project — a circular concrete recycling initiative that values people at the center of reconstruction.
