However, GOLD-ISMIA Project has come to understand that there are gender-based differences in the types of work women and men are engaged relating to ASGM, leading to gaps in the income they can earn, disparities in access to knowledge and technologies, and differences in the health risks they
Le plus récent rapport d’IMPACT révèle comment, faute d’accès aux institutions financières formels, la main-d’œuvre du secteur de l’or artisanal s’enlise dans le cycle de l’illégalité, – une situation qui alimente leur dépendance envers des prêteurs informels et, parfois, prédateurs.
