Driving sustainable investment in African Mining

From risk to responsibility to results: Catalysing sector-wide action on GBV in mining

Gender-based violence (GBV) continues to pose a significant risk to the mining sector – undermining workplace safety, community trust, investor confidence, and the industry's social licence to operate. With mounting global pressure, mining companies face an urgent call to move beyond compliance and toward meaningful, accountable action.

This high-level, interactive workshop will explore the root causes, obstacles to progress, and real opportunities for industry-wide transformation. Join us to engage in honest conversation, share emerging practices, and help shape a new leadership agenda for addressing GBV across mining workplaces and communities. Join us at Mining Indaba 2026 to explore how this shift from competition to coordination can redefine mineral supply security.
