Best Practices in Responsible Development
While women account for 48% of the national labor force, 59% make less than $8 an hour, primarily because they occupy positions that are traditionally female, and wages are persistently low and frequently offer no benefits. This puts most female-headed households near or below the poverty level, thus putting themselves and their children at risk. Recently, Cleveland was once again named number one in poverty for a large U.S. city.
Hard Hatted Women understands the urgency to act.
By engaging community partners and civic leaders in our mission, we have the ability to impact the lives of a greater number of women. In promoting Responsible Development through the Partnership Model, Hard Hatted women can affect system change by advancing policies and practices in our region's construction industry which promote inclusion, diversity and equity.
