Examining women’s diverse experiences of male-dominated work, this ground-breaking book explores what sexuality and gender means to women working in the construction and transport industries. Using accounts from heterosexual women and lesbians working in professional, manual and operational roles, Gender and Sexuality in Male-Dominated Occupations adopts an intersectional approach to examine advantage and disadvantage on the basis of gender, sexuality and occupational class in these sectors. Drawing on interviews and focus groups, the author examines why women choose to enter male-dominated industries, their experiences of workplace relations, their use of women’s support networks and trade unions, and the interface between home and work lives. Presenting international and UK-based examples of effective interventions to increase women’s participation in male-dominated work, this important book highlights the need for political will to tackle women’s underrepresentation, and suggests directions for the future.

Being socially and geographically mobile is generally seen as one of the central aspects of women's wellbeing. Alongside health, education and political participation, mobility is indispensable in order for women to reach goals such as agency and freedom. Building on new philosophical underpinnings of 'mobility', whereby society is seen to be framed by the convergence of various mobilities, this volume focuses on the intersection of mobility, social justice and gender. The authors reflect on five highly interdependent mobilities that form and reform social life: ∗ The origin, divisions and implication of physical travel for work, leisure, family life, migration and escape. ∗ Physical movement of goods and their gendered impacts. ∗ The gendered content of imagined travel through televisual images. ∗ Virtual travel via the Internet. ∗ Communicative travel through person-to-person messages via letters, telephone, fax and mobile phone. This volume covers an entire range of social, cultural, religious, economic, ethnic and political factors and processes.

In the Middle East and North Africa (MNA) region, women's university enrollment surpasses men's, yet their labor force participation (LFP) rate remains low and stagnant. What is preventing the women of MNA from translating their educational achievements into economic productivity? Is it a matter of personal preference, structural barriers, or both? This report sheds light on one of the structural barriers that may be preventing women from participating in the labor force--the public transport system. It focuses on the cities of Amman (Jordan), Beirut (Lebanon), and Cairo (Egypt) and uses primary data collected in 2022. The sources of the data are public transit mapping, built environment (safety) audits of public transit stops, public transport users' surveys, and household surveys. It finds that across all three cities, as compared to women, men are: (a) more mobile, (b) rely more on private vehicles, and (c) are more likely to hold driving licenses. In contrast, women are more dependent on male household members, taxis, or public transportation to meet their mobility needs. It identifies the challenges that women face when using public transit--these challenges differ by city. The main ones relate to uncomfortable and lengthy trips in Amman; road safety, costly and uncomfortable trips in Beirut; and lengthy and costly trips in Cairo. A large share of women expresses a" latent desire" to work but face transport related barriers. In each city, a large number of the interviewed non-working women state that the lack of affordable, comfortable, safe, time-efficient and reliable transport options is preventing them from looking for work. This corresponds to three in five women in Amman, one in two in Beirut, and two in five in Cairo. Statistical analysis confirms this by showing that a well-functioning public transport is crucial for enhancing women's LFP. Taken together, the findings of the report demonstrate that public transport affordability and accessibility are issues that are common to all three cities and need to be addressed. In addition, tailored concrete actions are needed in each city as explained in the report.
