Today, Ishreen continues her interview with Stacy Hope, the Managing Director of Women in Mining UK. In this episode, they discuss the historical colonial roots of mining, the exclusionary design of mining companies, and the slow progress towards inclusivity. Stacey highlights the burden placed on women to overperform compared to men and the need to change narratives and language to achieve equity. The episode delves into the importance of listening to marginalized voices, understanding cultural nuances, and working collaboratively to address disparities in the mining sector. 

KEY TAKEAWAYS


The mining sector exhibits significant gender disparities, with women being underrepresented in various positions such as technicians, professionals, and leadership roles.


The mining industry's systemic issues are rooted in a colonial history, shaping the current landscape of resource extraction and division of nation states.


The design and institutional legacy of mining companies have historically favored male perspectives, leading to exclusion of women, racial minorities, and ethnic groups.


Women in the mining industry face a disproportionate burden of overperformance, where a single failure can lead to exclusion, unlike their male counterparts who may continue to fail without consequences.


The language and narratives surrounding failure differ for men and women in the industry, highlighting the need for equal treatment and opportunities for all genders.

"The burden placed on women to over perform, that drives disparity and drives the dwindling number of women in the industry."

"We have to actually have our language and our narratives equal before we can even talk about equity and positions and pathways forward."

"Mining has been defined, it's been designed, it's been driven by the male point of view. The design of mining itself has meant to exclude."
