Fact Sheet : Gender Dimension in Artisanal Small-scale Gold Mining in Indonesia The Women Perspective from GOLD-ISMIA’s project location

It is estimated that the number of women involved in Artisanal Small-scale Gold Mining (ASGM ) is very large, but there is very little explanation of women's involvement and experiences. Unfortunately, formal data are also not found from official agencies from the village level and above. This lack of recognition is also due to stereotypes that consider mining as a masculine and gender-neutral area.
