MINING

A mining sector and mining-affected communities in which women, men and children benefit equally and enjoy all rights enshrined in international recognized human rights standards and regulations... To generate momentum and action among and by different stakeholders in support of women's rights in mines and in mining affected communities... DO insist on measures to realize women's rights across mineral supply chains. Make it your good business practice to take practical actions to realize women's rights, and expect affiliates, suppliers, customers, and other supply chain actors to do the same. Governments, companies and financial institutions can apply pressure and assist upstream suppliers active in the extraction, transport and trade of minerals to execute gender impact assessments to ensure their projects minimise harm and play a positive role in addressing gender inequality.
