RESOURCES and RESOURCEFULNESS: Gender, Conflict, and Artisanal Mining Communities in Eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo

This report will look at artisanal and small-scale (ASM) mining in North and South Kivu – two of the most conflict-affected provinces in the DRC. By taking a human rights-based approach, this project aimed to examine issues specifically relating to gender, militarization of the extraction process and free and equal participation in political, judicial and economic systems.
