Sexual and Gender-Based Violence in the Mining Sector in Africa: Evidence and reflections from the DRC, South Africa, Tanzania & Uganda

Whilst Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) can be experienced by anyone, this paper predominantly explores the experiences of women. Notably, it adopts an analytical framework examining manifestations of SGBV in women’s different roles or domains in relation to the mining sector: as Large-scale mining (LSM) employees, as Artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) workers, as community members and as advocates and activists.
