Shattering the Glass Ceiling: UEGCL Participates in Women in Construction  Symposium

March 27, 2026

UEGCL was proud to participate in the Women in Construction Symposium 2026, held under  the theme “Shattering the Glass Ceiling for Effective Participation of Women in Construction and  Infrastructure for National Transformation.” 

The symposium brought together women from across the construction and infrastructure  industry, creating a dynamic platform for engagement, networking, and knowledge sharing. It  connected professionals across the entire construction value chain, from engineers and  architects to contractors and suppliers, while also inspiring young women aspiring to join the  sector. 

The Guest of Honour, Diana Mutasingwa, emphasized the importance of fostering gender responsive workplaces within the industry. She called on construction companies,  manufacturers, and consulting firms to actively promote inclusive environments, strengthen  mentorship initiatives, and create more opportunities for women to take on leadership roles. 

UEGCL’s participation reflects its continued commitment to advancing gender inclusion and  supporting platforms that empower women to thrive and lead in the construction and  infrastructure space, key drivers of national transformation.
