Endeavour Mining’s Post

Mining is essential for our everyday lives, providing the metals that are vital to power a net zero future. Helping our customers deliver the metals we need in a sustainable way is at the heart of what we do. And that goes beyond our technology. The work we’re doing supports 8 of the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, including gender equality, reduced inequality and decent work. As we celebrate International Day of Women in Mining, we recognise that there is more to do to help women thrive in the mining sector.

“Within the intricate tapestry of Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) communities, gender equality is crucial for sustainable development. Yet, women endure systemic marginalisation and discrimination, hindering their full participation within these communities.” In our latest Alchemist, Kady Seguin and Jeannette Akinyi (IMPACT) examine the challenges that women in the industry face, such as lower wages, limited access to higher-paying positions, and unrealised potential. Kady and Jeannette also detail the importance of equality in these industries and the good work achieved by the Network for the Empowerment of Women in Mining Communities (REAFECOM) in bringing women to the forefront.

As Women's month comes to a close, we celebrated the incredible achievements of women who are transforming the mining industry. As Deputy Minister Nonceba Mhlauli highlighted at the Sishen Women in Mining Women's Day Indaba, women have played a crucial role in driving growth and innovation, proving the power of equal opportunities. Creating an inclusive environment where women can thrive is vital to reimagining mining to improve people’s lives. Promoting gender equality and supporting women in overcoming challenges like discrimination, limited career advancement, gender based violence, bullying and harassment remains a key focus. Through initiatives like the Mining Charter, the commitment to equitable access and representation continues, ensuring women have the opportunity to lead and excel in the industry.

The 2023 State of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Sector report, focused on SDG5 Gender Equality, is finally released—two years in the making! https://lnkd.in/gmr6qznV Through providing editorial support for this very important publication, I learned so much about the invaluable contribution of women to this sector: DYK that women account for at last one-third of the workforce for ASM mining, which supplies volumes of minerals essential to global industries from jewelry, construction, agriculture, IT, manufacturing, automotive and defense? Unfortunately, gender discrimination and disregard for health, safety, and social protection limits their rights and economic opportunities. They often face poor working conditions, sanitation, and violence, and more often are relegated to low-paying roles and are 90 TIMES more at risk of death than men. This report urges policymakers to address the distinct hazards women face to improve their occupational health and safety in mining environments and underscores the need to further empower women’s associations and female-led professional groups, which have been critical in improving the visibility of women ASM miners and advancing gender reforms in mining. #WorldBank #Delve #responsiblemining #sdgs2030 #sdg5 #genderequality #mining

🚺 Empowering Women in Industry Specific to Women in Mining (WiM) Hello Everyone, Wishing you and your loved ones a happy and prosperous New Year 2024! In the topic of women empowerment in Mining, the role of women in the mining industry has come a long way, but there is still much work to be done to achieve gender equality in the sector. The participation of women in the mining industry is not only a matter of gender equality but also a strategic imperative for creating a more sustainable, innovative, and socially responsible sector. Companies that embrace diversity and actively encourage the inclusion of women are likely to benefit from a more resilient and forward-thinking workforce. With continued research, collaboration, and commitment to change, the mining industry can achieve true gender equality and create a brighter future for all. I am highlighting some of the poignant moments along with some photos in the video where our women employees showed their appreciation and feelings for their dedication.
