Gender Dimensions of the Extractive Industries: Mining for Equity

This publication explores how men and women are differently impacted by the extractive industries, and the implications of this on the sustainable development of their communities, as well as on the profitability of extractive industry operations themselves.

 

 

This report provides suggestions for governments, EI companies, civil society, and other policy-makers for addressing and mitigating gender-specific negative impacts of EI, and amplifying the potential for EI to benefit men and women in the community.

 


The report concludes with a set of indicators for measuring the extent to which gender-sensitive interventions are improving the status of women and gender relations in target communities.
