International Day of Women in Mining IDWIM2023

On 15 June every year the mining industry celebrates the women who have been, are and will be part of the sector. The celebration seeks to further empower women to share their passion for the industry, as well as commemorate the industry’s achievement on gender inclusion to date.

The International Day of Women in Mining 2023 (IDWIM 2023) reinfoces our belief that “Equity in Mining is Everyone’s Responsibility” by showcasing how gender inclusion can be one of the greatest assets the industry has to ensure its long-term sustainability.

IDWIM has two primary objectives:

To celebrate the pioneers who paved the way, the women currently working in the mining value chain, and those who will join the mining sector in the future. Everyone, everywhere, is invited.
To be a campaign that calls on industry and individuals to collectively and collaboratively work on actionable initiatives towards a more sustainable, diverse and inclusive mining industry.
