They do. Many teachers in UAE schools are female western expats for example and a lot of Philippinas work as maids, nannies or cleaning staff.

It's just that the construction sector is by far the biggest employer of foreign workers and those are 100% male, creating this imbalance.

Same reason you don’t see women in, say, construction sites in the US.
