Join us for the launch of the highly anticipated State of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Sector report on SDG5: Gender This ground-breaking report, a collaboration between the World Bank and PACT, applies the SDG 5 framework to examine gender inequalities in ASM and provides recommendations for creating a more inclusive sector.
Through in-depth analysis and compelling case studies, the report’s authors will discuss how including gender perspectives can enhance the ASM sector and offer practical suggestions for overcoming barriers to women's participation in ASM. Concrete recommendations include:
Make mining legal frameworks gender-inclusive
Advance women's social protections at the mine and home
Account for gendered differences in occupational health and safety (OHS) efforts at mine sites
The report launch will feature a video presentation and thought-provoking lightning talks. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with two of the report's authors. The event will be followed by a press briefing at 4:00 pm in the Press Lounge.
This event is a unique platform for stakeholders, industry professionals, and media to gain insights and perspectives on achieving greater gender inclusivity in ASM.
