This report highlights findings from existing literature on occupational safety and health (OSH) in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM). A comprehensive literature review confirms the multiplicity of inherent hazards in ASM, compromised OSH and gendered disparities pointing to the urgent need for enhanced OSH measures tailored to gendered OSH needs as well as the unique challenges faced in the sector. 

Through analyzing current conditions and identifying gaps in OSH, this report seeks to provide a roadmap and actionable recommendations for improving miners' health and safety outcomes for both men and women across various ASM contexts.

This gender action plan provides a comprehensive blueprint for actions to promote gender equality, supporting and advancing a gender-responsive implementation of the Minamata Convention.

The guide offers an overview of the key issues, actors, initiatives, and resources in the field of gender and mining.

This publication was designed as an easy to-use toolkit for identifying the gender dimensions of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM).

This annotated bibliography gives an overview of key resources on the topic of gender and ASM.

This study offers a thorough review of the evidence around Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) in the mining sector in Sub-Saharan Africa, with a particular focus on the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), South Africa, Tanzania and Uganda.

This report has been prepared by the Artisanal Gold Council, the executing agency for the planetGOLD Mongolia project to develop an understanding of the status quo of the artisanal and small-scale mining sector in Mongolia, in particular to assess the current status of prevalent ASGM practices, attitudes and knowledge levels among relevant stakeholder groups in the project sites. 

This guideline was developed as a reference for stakeholders on how gender mainstreaming is carried out in the management of mercury-free ASGM.

One of the project’s strategies is to strengthen gender mainstreaming in the implementation of each activity to achieve justice and gender equality for artisanal and small-scale gold miners (ASGM). This book, the Guideline for Gender Mainstreaming (GM) in the Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining Sector (ASGM) has been developed to serve as a reference in the implementation of ASGM governance and mentoring programs for gender-sensitive mining communities for implementing agents and parties related to ASGM at the national, provincial, district/city, and village levels in carrying out gender mainstreaming in the attempt to achieve mercury free

This capacity-building package has been designed for policymakers to guide them on how to promote gender equality across all levels of policy and programming in climate change, and to provide them with the necessary tools to do so.
