Association of Women in Mining in Africa reposted this
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
