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

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
