Memorializing Governor Kathy Hochul to proclaim March 2025, as Women in the Trades Month in the State of New York

AI Summary

This resolution calls on Governor Kathy Hochul to officially proclaim March 2025 as Women in the Trades Month in New York State, recognizing the critical contributions of women in traditionally male-dominated industries such as construction, plumbing, electrical work, carpentry, and welding. The resolution highlights that while women currently represent only 4% of construction workers nationally, their representation has been growing, with over 300,000 women working in construction occupations as of 2020. By memorializing this month, the resolution aims to draw attention to the unique challenges women face in these fields, including gender stereotypes and workplace discrimination, while also celebrating their resilience, leadership, and increasing presence in skilled trades. The document emphasizes that recognizing Women in the Trades Month is essential for promoting inclusivity, equal opportunities, and acknowledging that skilled labor is not defined by gender, but rather by talent, skills, and dedication.
