Despite facing tremendous challenges in Guyana’s male-dominated world of artisanal & small-scale gold mining, women miners are determined to defy the odds and succeed in a sector that is a key source of livelihoods for thousands in the country. The planetGOLD Guyana project is working to ensure that men and women have equal access to all opportunities available under the project, including access to technologies that are safer for their health and the environment.
