INSIGHTS, EXPERIENCES, STORIES - UGANDA
" Women miners face significant challenges, including gender-based violence, unsafe working conditions, and economic dependence rooted in traditional norms. By supporting women’s economic empowerment through access to equipment, skills training, and the formalization of women-led groups, these interventions help increase production, improve health and safety, reduce violence both at mine sites and at home, and strengthen women’s ability to support their children, families, and communities.
