It is a documentary that aims to give visibility to railway women, but also to awaken the interest of girls to access these companies, where they are underrepresented.
The protagonists are women of reference, aware and sure that equality improves coexistence in companies and society in general. They had to overcome the obstacles of a masculinized sector that resisted the presence and access of women.
