International Day of Women in Mining (IDWIM) is an annual global campaign that honours the achievements of all who identify as women and the advancement of inclusion in mining. “I am Mining and I Belong” is the theme for IDWIM 2024. Find out how to get involved: https://ow.ly/q2eE50QJtXa

Being a woman in mining and knowing that I belong is a powerful theme. The conversations we have hosted with women in mining are just the beginning. My research on women in mining bears testament to the written and spoken narratives surrounding women in this industry. These narratives highlight the challenges, triumphs, and invaluable contributions of women in mining, underscoring the importance of fostering inclusive environments where everyone feels they belong.

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

#DYK companies with gender-diverse leadership are 25% more likely to outperform their least-diverse peers? Despite these findings, women still make up just 15% of the mining industry’s workforce. Due to these staggering statistics, it’s no surprise that gender representation in mining was high on the agenda at this year’s 36th Annual Gold Forum Americas event, presented by Denver Gold Group. With an executive leadership team that is 50% female, Newmont was proud to hear Chief Operating Officer Natascha Viljoen and Chief Financial Officer Karyn Ovelmen share their thoughts on diversity in the industry and discuss future opportunities to bolster inclusion.
