I'd like to give you the human side to this brief interview! Women In Mining UK (WIM UK) do so much to support their volunteers and the wider community of women. Aymone Schendel waited around for me so we could do this recording. The minute we stopped she was hands on to pack things up in time to make it to the airport. I just want to give a sincere shout out to all the WIM UK volunteers for their commitment, kindness, and support, and especially to Aymone Schendel who is tireless and really quite irreplaceable. Women in Mining is a community of people who want the best for each other, and work endlessly to support each woman's advancement. Thank you. You can count on me as an ally too. For myself, this was day 5 of non-stop listening, thinking, hosting, moderating, engaging and under-eating for a range of reasons. I think you can tell by the state of my face (not to mention inability to string a sentence together (sorry Lucie Goulet!)) that I was exhausted! But I stand by my words. Mining is complex, and I love a challenge, which is what keeps me invested in it. What I didn't say is that I think positive disruption in mining means mainstreaming feminist values - greater inclusion, democracy, equity, compassion in governance and decision-making. The way I want to positively disrupt mining is to help others envisage and vivify a post-extractivist, contributory, and regenerative sector that is welcomed by local communities, leverages its expertise and connections to nature to enhance the environment, and that truly benefits nations as a whole and not just the elite. This is not just about advancing women - that is important. It's also about addressing racism, classism, patriarchy as a whole, etc. And for those who haven't studied feminism, please don't misunderstand; this is as much about benefiting any gender because empowered and equal women and queer people is good for men too. It really is about centering welfare, freedom, and unleashing the potential of each of us to be our best in a system that facilitates that. Perhaps this is one of the hardest sectors to achieve this, but we must try.

We asked you what the #IDWIM2024 theme 'I Am Mining and I Belong' means to you, and your responses have been amazing! Today we highlight Alicia Robles León - Velarde from #Peru who said: “I am a woman in mining and I belong”. She added: "The statement 'I am in mining, and I belong' gives me a profound sense of pride, not just for my personal accomplishments but also for the remarkable achievements of my female colleagues in the mining industry. Despite its historical dominance by men, our substantial contributions to the field underscore our unique abilities, in different areas of the mining operation. It serves as a powerful call to an inclusive and supportive environment, recognizing the diverse talents and contributions that women bring to the industry." We want to hear YOUR take on it!

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

Did you know that women in mining get paid 3x more than women in any other industry ? That is why more women should get into the mining industry. Ege Tekinbas shares global stats with us on how women are doing in the mining industry and she has categorised the research into: Redundancy, Reskilling, Skills Transfer from other Sectors & Skills Import. This research shows how the mining sector needs more than just mining engineers and there are spaces to be filled by women within the industry.

Women in mining: As a young female lawyer finding my footing in the mining industry, I embrace each day as a chance to learn and adapt in a space historically dominated by men. It's a journey of constant growth, where every hurdle is an opportunity to broaden my understanding. My commitment to this field isn't just about serving our company—it's about playing a part in shaping the future of our nation's mining sector. It's a privilege to know that our work doesn't just impact bottom lines but also plays a vital role in fostering economic growth and advancing sustainable practices in our country’s mining industry.
