Make mining legal frameworks gender-inclusive
Advance women's social protections at the mine and home
Account for gendered differences in occupational health and safety (OHS) efforts at mine sites
The report launch will feature a video presentation and thought-provoking lightning talks. Attendees will have the opportunity to engage with two of the report's authors. The event will be followed by a press briefing at 4:00 pm in the Press Lounge.
