1. Education and awareness: Women should be educated about their rights and importance in creating and designing architectural spaces. Training programs and workshops can help them acquire knowledge and develop skills to participate equally in the profession.
2. Inclusion and representation: Women should be represented in decision-making processes and authorities on designing and implementing architectural projects. This includes the participation of women in committees, research groups, and related organizations.
3. Financing and funding: Women entrepreneurs and architects should be given access to financial support and resources to enable them to establish their businesses and projects.
4. Collaboration and partnerships: Gender equity and empowerment can be achieved through partnerships between women, government bodies, and the private sector. Collaboration can help women architects access more resources, share knowledge and ideas, and identify and foster interconnected growth opportunities.
5. Regulation and policies: Policies should be established to ensure that gender equity and empowerment principles are integrated into the design and implementation of architecture projects. The policies should also establish guidelines for the regulation of gender-based inequities and any form of harassment or inequality.
6. Language and media: Language and media portrayals should promote equal opportunities for women, acknowledge their contributions, and correct gender biases in design and related professions. This positive representation will reshape the perception of women in the design industry.
