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. 

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

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.

The study involved reviewing the existing ASGM related policy and regulatory framework in light of gender dimensions in the ASGM sector in Kenya

The purpose of this compilation and analysis of Conservation on Biological Diversity (CBD) decisions and recommendations is to support decision-makers, negotiators and advocates in monitoring the implementation of gender-sensitive and gender-responsive policies, programmes, and activities under the Convention.

This report compiles toolkits, guidelines, and legal frameworks that have been devised and used by governments, international organizations, and civil society organizations to identify and address the gendered impacts of mining operations. It also features three case studies where these tools have been applied.
