"If not me, who? If not now, when?" — Hillel the Elder To adapt this to our cause: If not Women in Mining Nigeria, who? If not now, when? Our #women and #girls deserve a bright future. No one should be left in the shadows because of painful experiences, such as #SGBV, that were beyond their control. We recognize that the scourge of Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (#SGBV) has plagued Nigeria for far too long. Women in Mining Nigeria is committed to confronting this issue head-on, one state at a time, one city at a time. Thanks to the support of the Ford Foundation, Women in Mining Nigeria have empowered #women and provided #survivors of #SGBV with vocational and financial skills to aid in their recovery and foster independence. In our effort to advance the fight against #SGBV in #NasarawaState, Women in Mining Nigeria is proud to inaugurate the #Nasarawa Chapter. With the cooperation of the state government, through the Ministry of Women Affairs, we are hopeful of the success of this project in the state. Please feel free to share this message to your friends and connections who are passionate about fighting #SGBV. Women in Mining Nigeria is open to collaborations and partnerships with organizations and individuals that are passionate about fighting against #SGBV in Nigeria. #SGBVNasarawa2024 #WIMNIGSGBV2024 #WIM_FORDFOUNDATIONSGBVNasarawa2024

Congratulations Women in Mining Association of Namibia(WiMAN) on a job well done!

This collaboration promises to foster sustainable development and gender equality in the mining industry. The focus on women's leadership in Mining Indaba 2025 will undoubtedly pave the way for a more inclusive and innovative future in mining. As we continue to address the challenges and opportunities in the mining sector, platforms like these are critical for empowering women, highlighting their contributions, and ensuring that they are integral to the sector's future. We look forward to seeing the impactful outcomes from this partnership, as it aligns with the mission we champion at AWIMA—building stronger networks, representation, and opportunities for women across Africa's mining landscape. #WomenInMining #MiningIndaba2025 #Sustainability #GenderEquality #AWIMA Investing in African Mining Indaba Zeinab El-Sayed Zenzi Awases Pascaline Balbine MAKANI OMGBA

We are excited to announce our summer event with Association of Women in Mining in Africa, an essential webinar focused on the intersectionality of identity and leadership within Africa's #miningsector. In today’s global economy, the mining industry is a cornerstone not only for economic growth but also for technological and infrastructural advancements, yet, the full potential of this sector remains untapped as the contributions and challenges faced by women, particularly in Africa, are often overlooked. Key Insights: 💢 Women make up only 8-17% of the global mining workforce, with even fewer represented in leadership roles. 💢 In Africa, women constitute 15-20% of the mining workforce, yet face significant barriers such as limited access to financing, gender-based violence, and restricted career advancement opportunities. 💢 Companies with higher gender diversity are 21% more likely to achieve above-average profitability, underscoring the importance of inclusive leadership. This webinar will delve into how intersectionality, the complex interplay of gender, race, socioeconomic background, and more can be a powerful tool for empowerment and leadership in the mining sector. We’ll discuss the urgent need for strategies that recognise and embrace the multifaceted identities of women in mining. What you can expect? 💎 Transformational Insights: Learn how #intersectionality can turn challenges into opportunities for leadership. 💎 Strategic Value: Understand why #inclusiveleadership is crucial for unlocking the full potential of the mining industry. 💎 Networking Opportunities: Connect with #influentialleaders who are actively shaping the future of the mining sector in #Africa. 📅 Date: 30th August 🕒 Time: 8 AM GMT +1 🔗 Register Here: https://lnkd.in/ezW-N3tD Keynote Speakers: 👩🏽 Zenzi Awases, Association of Women in Mining in Africa 👩🏽 Ayan Said, MA, PGCE, BSc (Hons), Voicing Voices Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of a transformative discussion that will help shape the #futureofleadership in Africa's mining sector. #WomenInMining #Leadership #Intersectionality #AWIMA #SustainableMining #InclusiveLeadership
