Port industry encouraging female employment in Costa Rica3

Priscilla Villalobos never imagined that the door would be open for her to develop a role that involved moving containers weighing up to thirty tons, from a crane, up to 20 meters in the air.

During her five years’ work experience, Priscilla saw that this type of work was mostly carried out by men, but even so she decided to "take the plunge" and try to land a job she considered she could do perfectly well.

Villalobos is one of the port women celebrating during National Port Women’s Day in Cost Rica and wants to send a message to women so that they dare not only to dream, but also to start their own life projects.
