Brady has worked relentlessly in campaigning for greater involvement in architecture by women and ethnic minorities since her foundation of RIBA ’ s Architects for Change group in 2000 , and has stated that she hopes to raise the current estimate of only 18 percent of architects being female to 40 percent .
