Abstract
Professional practice especially in Estate Surveying and Valuation industry no
doubt has its challenges and there is an increasing quest to survive by both the male and female
practitioners in Nigeria. However, it appears the females are finding the practice of the
profession more challenging than their male counterparts. This study however looked at the
challenges faced by female Estate Surveyors and Valuers (ESV) in the public and private
sectors of the industry in Anambra State. Primary data were collected and analysed using
simple tables and percentages. Challenges identified include; difficulty in balancing work and
family lives, the inability to attend to assignments outside the town at short notice and lack of
marital support. The study recommended that efforts should be made to encourage more
women, attract them into practice, also into educational sector, give more opportunities to
them for research and more importantly discourage sexual harassment.
