Safer mines for women: Tackling gender-specific hazards in mining

In 2024, the World Bank and Pact launched the State of the Artisanal and Small-Scale Mining (ASM) Sector report on SDG5: Gender Equality. This ground-breaking report applies the SDG 5 framework to examine gender inequalities in ASM and provides recommendations for creating a more inclusive sector. In this webinar, the report’s primary authors and a global collection of case study contributors, including the Pact-led Illuminating Small-Scale Mining in Rwanda project, talk about the insights generated from this critical review and the pathway forward to advancing women’s social protections at the mine and home.
