The Intergovernmental Forum on Mining, Minerals, Metals and Sustainable Development (IGF) believes is joining forces with the Environmental Governance Programme and UNDP’s Learning for Nature to offer a free, four-week course on Gender and Mining Governance, which aims to amplify women’s voices in mining.
Women are prominent actors in the mining industry, forming half of every community hosting extractive operations, and are an essential part of the sector’s workforce. Despite this, women are often marginalized and their contributions to the industry underrated, IGF said.
