The women in mining recently concluded the local celebrations of Women in Mining, underscored by two powerful themes. At the international level, the theme was "I am Mining and I Belong," while the local celebration in Nigeria focused on "Trailblazers in Mining: Two Decades of Resilience, Innovation, and Achievement." The conference provided a platform to discuss critical issues such as creating awareness and mentoring the next generation of women in mining. Participants shared strategies to combat stereotypes and address harassment from other genders, aiming to foster a more inclusive and supportive environment for women in the industry. We were honored to have the presence and support of: - @Barbara Darshinger - @Tope Adeyoju - WIM Angola - WIM Madagascar - WIM Ghana Additionally, the support from international organizations such as IWIM, AWIMA, West Africa Women in Mining, and more, was invaluable. These discussions are vital as we work together to break down barriers and build a future where women are empowered, respected, and fully integrated into all aspects of mining. The shared experiences and solutions presented at the conference are a testament to our collective resilience and commitment to change. #WomenInMining #MiningDiversity #FutureOfMining #InclusiveMining #EmpowermentInMining #IWIM #AWIMA #WestAfricaWomenInMining #IAmMiningAndIBelong #TrailblazersInMining #TwoDecadesOfResilienceInnovationAchievement

#DEI has become a buzz word, but it is often misused and can sometimes be tricky to define. To help the global mining industry, IWiM has launched a new DEI Definitions page on our website. This will assist everyone in understanding what terms like #diversity, #equity, #equality and #inclusion mean.     Explore the page to gain a clearer understanding and ensure we all speak the same language when it comes to fostering an inclusive and equitable industry.    Learn more here: https://lnkd.in/dB5vTwpG    Do you have additional definitions or resources to share? What do you think of the new page? Share with us in the comments    #IDWIM #IDWIM2024 #InternationalDayofWomeninMining #IAmMiningAndIBelong #IAmMining #SoyMinería #JeSuisLactivitéMinière #SouMineração #WomenInMining #MiningIndustry #diversityequityandinclusion 

I believe that leaders should start being intentional in creating safe working spaces and eradicating harassment and gender-based violence in their workplaces. Starting conversations, providing platforms to discuss these issues, and being proactive rather than reactive are some of the ways to effect a culture transformation in the organization. To all leaders at all levels in the mining industry, we can all make a difference today. #IWiM - International Women in Mining #representationmatters #diversityandinclusion

So much of my work in the last 25 years has been international so it’s really exciting to combine a few of my passions in one voluntary role in the UK: minerals policy and women’s rights. The cherry on the cake is the Women I’m doing it with. Thank you to Women In Mining UK (WIM UK) for the opportunity to advance the organisation’s objectives through this committee. Levin Sources is predominantly women, who are working hard to advance protection of people and nature in minerals value chains, so this is very close to my heart. There are many types of women in mining, not only in mining companies. Additionally, the UK is a global hub for mining companies, standards and associations, many of which are striving for higher ESG and human rights performance. There is also a resurgence in domestic mining for critical minerals, per my company’s work on geothermal potential in Cornwall for the EU. At the end of the day, women are under-represented in the mining sector and disproportionately impacted by its adverse impacts in local communities. There is much to be done. Nose. Grindstone. Let’s do this.
