Empowering women in Africa’s mining industry! Discover the thoughts of Carla Clamp of BDO South Africa as she examines the challenges holding women back in the continent’s mining industry and why it is imperative to identify and remove such barriers. “There is a whole lot of untapped potential in women that could be miners that is currently not being assessed or utilised. Given the opportunity, these women could make a huge difference in the industry and can join the ranks of the several women change-makers that have been in the industry.” A the upcoming Investing in African Mining Indaba conference Clamp advised attendees and participants to keep this vital topic in mind throughout each discussion in this year’s agenda: “It is imperative that we maintain the focus of removing the barriers that keep women from shining and reaching their highest potential in an industry that has been historically male-dominated.” Discover the full interview at: https://lnkd.in/eERHV9Hu #MiningIndaba #WomenInMining #WomenEmpowerment #AfricaMining #WomenInBusiness

Over the years women have battled for a place in the mining Industry. Currently, women form an essential part of the Industry labour force. Mostly in Artisanal & Small Scale mining, though still not there yet, but it’s a good start in the right direction. Through us Tanzania Women in Mining and Mineral Industry (TWiMMI) and specifically President Hon. Samia Suluhu, we are on a mission to show the world that “mining is for everyone” Despite the bias and prejudices. Women can take charge and make remarkable impacts in the Industry. Whether in leadership or technical areas. Here's the chance to support Women and youth in this sector. Do you think women and youth in mining get enough recognition for the work they've been doing? #MineralValueAdditionTraining #WomeninMineralValueAddition

Social Intelligence Specialist | MD of Women in Mining UK - ESG | Gender | Extractives | Renewable Energy | Climate | Innovation
So...let's talk about the title of this article. Forget the content for now. The title "Do we really need more women in the boardroom? A bottom-up approach may provide more benefit for women" is a narrative that we must stop perpetuating. It's both, it's all! By 2022, women held 17.6% of director positions within top-500 listed mining companies, up from 4.9% in 2012. [See data from White & Case LLP, ARCH Emerging Markets Partners Limited and Women In Mining UK (WIM UK): https://lnkd.in/euZ6CmpF] On the panel, it was stated that one of the problems with women in mining groups is that they do not focus on women at grassroots, entry level. However, it is the women in mining groups, particularly in the Global South, that are taking on deep rooted systemic challenges that women and communities face of gender-transformation on the ground. Context is key! I encourage mining companies to stop making it an either/or issue and to make it a mining issue. Let's stop questioning whether we need more women and address the disparities in numbers--in number of women; in number of new entrants; in number of diverse thinking. #womeninmining #wimuk https://lnkd.in/eRvUDMpk

🌺 To promote greater female representation in the mining industry and foster the career advancement of women, GLY Consulting, led by Pauline Lu, took the initiative to organize and host the "Chinese Women in Mining" online event on March 8th, coinciding with International Women's Day. The event welcomed participants from China, Canada, and Australia. During the event, three distinguished guest speakers shared their valuable perspectives. Mrs. Guixia Ma, Founder and Chairman of Dekuang Jiuding Mining Technology Inc in China, Diana Hu, CEO of Cheetah Chrome Mine in South Africa, and Nancy Liu, Co-Founder and VP Operations of ThreeDify Nancy Liu in Canada, discussed the challenges, opportunities, and success factors for female professionals in the mining industry. They also provided insights into the characteristics of effective women leaders. The discussions spanned various topics, including the career prospects emerging from digital transformation and the applications of artificial intelligence in the mining sector. This event served as a platform to address and explore the multifaceted aspects of women's roles and contributions in the mining field. 🌷 #womeninmining #chineseculture #miningindustry #mining #miningtech #miningengineering #miningexploration #pdac2024 #internationalwomensday2024

The Mining Industry boundaries often feel fixed. We are defying the odds by breaking stereotypes and building bridges that create lasting impact. For years, the mining sector has been perceived as a male-dominated arena. With Tanzania Women in Mining and Mineral Industry (TWiMMI) each initiative reshapes the narrative. Empowering women & youth to not only participate. But to lead and guide. From training to mentorships, we are building bridges across generations, geographies, and skill sets. Every training, every event, and every success story makes one thing clear: The mining industry is for everyone. _________________________________________________ PS: If you're not a registered member of TWiMMI, Join us in supporting this mission.
