| Summary: | In every mining region across the
globe, there are a multitude of entities primarilyfocused on
progressing the interests of women in mining. At the
national level,the most notable interest group is that of
Women in Mining (WIM) organizations.Although WIM
organizations share a common vision, their objectives and
formsvary. WIM organizations generally evolve organically
and are structured, managed,and financed in accordance with
their membership composition, location, context,and purpose.
Most are independent but welcome coordination and joint
initiativeswhile others are organized under the umbrella of
an industry association or abusiness. In a single country,
several WIM organizations may exist that are or aren’tlinked
to one another, or there may be only one WIM organization in
the wholecountry, both instances occur. As our research
findings show, regardless of the form,the number of WIM
organizations has been steadily increasing over the last decade. |
