More about the mentors are here.

In March 2017, Women in Mining organizations from Singapore, Mongolia, Philippines and British Columbia, Canada, have partnered to organize the Women in Mining Day during Mining Investment Asia 2017 which was held in Singapore.

​It was the first regional panel to relook the issues related to gender diversity and inclusion in the mining industry within the Asia Pacific region. With ever increasing proportion of women in the extractive industries around the world, it is becoming more frequent for the industry professionals to gather and discuss the issues faced by women in this conventionally male dominated sector and recognize the achievements of women – miners.

WIM Mongolia is looking forward to the next international Women in Mining Day!  ​

Mining Investment Asia 2017 is a conference and exhibition for leaders of the mining, quarrying and construction materials industries, bringing together ministers, mining companies, investors and service providers traveling from all over Asia and other regions for four days of partnering, networking and business matching.
 
Women in Mining Mongolia is partnering with the event organizers to hold the first day of this conference devoted to  “Women In Mining“. Join us at an invaluable platform to seek new partnerships, new business and new opportunities.

​November 2016 News
 
Dear WIM Mongolia members & followers,
 
In October 2016, WIM Mongolia held two consultative meetings at the Cooperative Vocational Training in the Mineral Resources Sector (CVT) project, which is commissioned by the German Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development and jointly financed by the governments of Germany, Switzerland and Australia. The project aims at supporting Mongolian youth and adults to improve their employability in the mineral resource sector. Among others, the project encourages girls and women to get vocational training in mining-related fields through providing scholarships and organizing Girls’ Days. 
 
The first meeting involved the presentation of the WIMM’s 2015-2016 survey of the women participation in the extractive industry of Mongolia with the project management team. Among them the project gender focal point Ms.Oyunsanaa stressed the importance of various interventions of sector specific projects in Mongolia, especially in cross cutting topics such as mining, gender and inclusive education. The second meeting was held with the regional experts from the partnering vocational training schools from 11 provinces of Mongolia. Discussants shared opinions on the findings of the survey, ways to jointly improve the situation of girl’s enrollment in the mining vocational training and in WIMM’s mentorship program.
 
The German Gesellschaft für International Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and Mongolian Ministry of Labour and Social Protection have been jointly implementing this project since 2013, which started the second project phase in 2016.
