Women make up an estimated 30% to 50% of the global workforce in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). That number rises to 70% or higher in places like Guinea or Uganda. Supporting women must thus be central to any effort to transform ASM for the broader betterment of workers, communities, and the environment.
