Breaking down barriers for women in trades

From Afternoons, 1:30 pm on 6 October 2021

A Queenstown woman who is a builder by trade is attempting to break down the barriers that are making it difficult for women working on sites.

Chelsea Roper's been on a quest to make sure that portaloos on sites also have sanitary bins available. She's been making this happen and hopes it will mean more of the sisterhood signing up for trades jobs training.

She talks to Jesse about her transition to building and making male dominated trades more female friendly. You can also follow her own page and on instagram where she shows what life is like for women on a building site.
