Glencore Ferroalloys launches its Women In Mining structure
According to the Minerals Council of South Africa, South African women have played a key role in above-ground mining positions prior to them being legally allowed to work underground in 1996. Women have gradually become formal participants in all aspects of the industry. They have come up against challenges and restrictions and over the years, the industry has become better at identifying and dealing with these issues and creating more inclusive conditions for women in the workplace.
