The research in this chapter was framed by questions
such as: Do men and women face similar difficulties when seeking to
gain employment in mining? Are they afforded similar opportunities
once they have secured access into ASM? What are the most prevalent
social, economic and health impacts experienced by individuals. Are these
impacts gendered? A human rights–based approach informed the range
of issues examined, such as gender, militarisation of the extraction process
and free and equal participation in political, judicial and economic
systems. By speaking with a wide variety of actors who live and work
within these communities, we attempted to identify issues that are common to mining-affected areas.
