Truck driver Ana Carolina Gomes Silva, also known on social media as “Tal da Loira”, commented on the importance of female inclusion in work environments considered “masculine”.
Even after so many advances made by women over the years, there are still those who believe that in environments considered “masculine” there is no room for them. According to the (OTI), International Labor Organization, nowadays women still earn 20% less compared to men who exercise the same profession. However, through much struggle and persistence this reality has been transformed.
for the truck driver Ana Carolina Gomes Silva, also known on social networks as “Tal da Loira”, the progress of women in these environments is the result of many struggles for gender equality, a well-known cause that must be recognized. Even though their skills are underestimated and devalued, women have been breaking down barriers in professions considered masculine, such as mason, painter and mechanic, for example.
“Despite the unquestionable feminine qualities, we end up being underestimated to perform functions considered masculine. The female presence can be of great importance for various activities that often demand more skill and perfectionism. Therefore, it is important that we are not afraid of prejudice to occupy the places we want”, said the truck driver.
Being present has been one of the goals set and achieved by women throughout history, such as in 1879, the year of the conquest of the right to attend colleges, an environment where only men were allowed to use. Even after decades, there are still struggles against questioning the female ability to designate functions dominated by men, but the struggle has borne fruit that makes women currently the majority in the labor market, with about 54% of workers.
“It is very important that women manage to occupy these places to show that their competence goes beyond what is imagined, so it is important that there are women who pass this message on and encourage others to go further. Even in the super globalized world we live in, prejudices are still present and continue to affect us, this is mainly due to the lack of information and limited beliefs of an entire society”, finished.
