Addressing the global data gap about women in mining is intrinsic to IWiM’s thought leadership mission and essential for evidence-based advocacy, sound monitoring of progress and effective outcomes for women. IWiM advocates for more disclosure and granular disaggregated data on women working in the mining industry.

We welcome collaborations with forward-looking organisations and policy shapers, sharing our expertise through peer reviews, research projects and policy proposals based on best practices. Contact us at info@internationalwim.org to discuss how we can realise our shared ambitions for women in mining.
