Women’s Rights and Mining is pleased to have collaborated with the OECD to create space for a dedicated discussion on gender and responsible mineral supply chains. Please join and engage with us in the following two interactive sessions:
The Power of Gender & the Launch of the Gender and Mining Encyclopedia, breakfast side-event of Women and Mining and GIZ on 24 April from 8.00 – 9.00 in room CC13
The Power of Gender is an engaging and insightful way to illustrate the gender impact in mining and mineral supply chains. The aim of this interactive workshop is for participants to reflect on how power and privilege affects peoples’ lives.
The Gender and Mining Encyclopedia will be also launched during this side-event. It offers a snapshot of the key actors, initiatives and programs in the field of gender and mining. It is published to help practitioners gain an overview of the sector and ideas for projects or collaborations.
Applying a gender lens to due diligence and responsible mineral supply chains, parallel session on 25 April from 11.15 – 12.45 in room CC1
The session will identify issues related to gender-specific risks in the minerals sector and provide an overview of gender focused mitigation strategies in responsible mineral projects. Presenters will provide examples of empowerment opportunities through mitigation strategies and highlight current gaps in identification and mitigation of gender-specific risks. This session will also be an opportunity to present and discuss a draft statement prepared by members of the Multi-stakeholder Steering Group on implementing gender-responsive due diligence.
