Happy International Women's day to all women in the mining industry! 👯♀️ And what a fitting week it's been discussing with many women about their achievements in the workplace. In one conversation, my candidate had increased the female workforce from 5 to 15% since working with her company!!! 📈 Encouraging and motivating women to achieve more in a male dominated industry is now the new normal. I hope things continue to look up and up for women not only in mining but across the world 🗺 #iwd2024 #womensday2024 #women #womenempowerment #miningindustry #mining #miningcareers #miningnews

June 15th is International Day for Women in Mining (IDWIM), a global day to celebrate the achievements of women in mining while raising awareness of the need for gender equality action in the mining sector. IDWIM’s 2024 theme is “I am Mining and I Belong”. It carries a powerful message of inclusion, empowerment, claiming space, and advocating for positive change within an industry undergoing transformation. As the mining sector evolves, this phrase serves as a powerful reminder of the diverse individuals who contribute to it and the importance of creating a more inclusive and sustainable future for all. As an Indigenous owned, heavy construction company working in the mineral exploration, mine development and mining sector, IDWIM resonates deeply for TNDC. It doubles-down our commitment to carving out pathways for women, particularly Tahltan women, providing them with the tools, training and opportunities to grow, develop and ascend within our ranks. This day reinforces our commitment to transforming the mining industry – a field where women have historically been underrepresented. Women continue to make up only 15.9% of the BC Mining workforce and 14% of the Canadian mining workforce (Mining Industry Human Resources Council (MiHR) 2024). TNDC has superseded the industry average with 41% of our workforce being female. Our dedication goes beyond mere statistics; it is about fostering a workplace culture that thrives on safety, respect, equality, equity and inclusivity for our female employees. By championing these values, TNDC aims not only to contribute to a more gender-balanced world but also to inspire change within the mining sector and beyond. We are committed to leading by example, demonstrating the powerful impact of equity, inclusion and diversity in driving innovation and success. Our Tahltan HEO Training Program, with its 100% female participation this year, and our Employee HEO Training Program, highlight our dedication to providing the tools, training and opportunities for women, particularly Tahltan women, to thrive and lead.

Did you know that the global average participation of women in the mining workplace is 15% but that the majority of these are in clerical roles? Did you know 25% of the world’s top 500 mining companies do not have one woman on their board. Lack of diversity in the workplace and especially in leadership leads to groupthink, prevents integration of commercial and cultural innovation, restricts regard for double materiality and so means that companies aren’t so good at protecting or building value. In our work on Mexico, the majority of community activism against mining is led by affected women. Is mining/community conflict actually a gendered conflict? Would a feminised mining sector operate differently? What about a feminIST one? How would that help us address some of the major barriers to trust-building and community support? The article is really revealing, but check out the comments. This shows what a tough road we are on. a key point is about male allies. I can think of many feminist, activist men who are addressing cultural issues within mining and championing women. Holger Grundel is of course my shining example. I’m proud to be a member of the Women In Mining UK (WIM UK) policy committee along with Ruth B. Allison George Susannah McLaren Fabiana Di Lorenzo, Ph.D, CDI.D Kirsty Benham and Stacy Hope, Ph.D . We are advocating for women’s rights in UK policy. Who has/have been your male allies? Please thank them in the comments. 👏👏👏🙏

Article; Empowering Women in Mining: The Global Women in Mining Network In recent years, there has been a significant movement towards empowering women in the traditionally male-dominated mining industry. The Global Women in Mining (WIM) Network has played a pivotal role in advocating for #gender equality, providing support and resources for #women in the sector, and fostering a community of like-minded individuals across the globe. The #WIM movement traces its origins back to the late 1990s when pioneering women in the mining industry recognized the need for a platform to address gender disparities and promote opportunities for women in mining. Their vision led to the establishment of Women in Mining organizations in various countries, including Africa, the United States, and Canada. The objectives of the WIM movement are multifaceted: 1. Advocacy:Women in Mining organizations advocate for gender diversity and inclusion within the mining industry, challenging stereotypes and promoting equal opportunities for women at all levels. 2. Support and Networking:WIM networks provide a supportive environment for women in mining to connect, share experiences, and access mentorship and professional development opportunities. 3. Education and Awareness: WIM organizations promote education and awareness around gender issues in the mining sector, highlighting the contributions of women and advocating for policies that support gender equality. 4. Community Engagement: WIM networks engage with local communities to promote the participation of women in mining-related activities and advocate for the advancement of women's rights in mining-affected areas. Today, Women in Mining organizations exist in numerous countries, each with its own unique challenges and opportunities. From Women in Mining United States (WIM USA) to Women in Mining Canada (WIM Canada) and Women in Mining Africa (WiM-Africa), these organizations work tirelessly to advance the interests of women in the mining industry. Within each country, Women in Mining organizations are further divided into state or regional chapters, allowing for more localized support and engagement. For example, Women in Mining Ghana (WiM Ghana) and Women in Mining Western Australia (WIMWA) are just a few examples of state-level chapters that are making significant strides in promoting gender diversity and inclusion within their respective regions. The Women in Mining Network is a testament to the power of collaboration and collective action. By uniting women across borders and breaking down barriers, the WIM movement is driving positive change and shaping the future of the mining industry for generations to come.
