In this month when International Women’s Day is celebrated, the Minerals Council South Africa has launched the “Stop abuse of women” campaign to address sexual and gender-based violence and harassment on South Africa’s mines and in mining and labour-sending communities. The campaign is aimed at both men and women; outlines what is meant by abuse; and spells out the potential consequences of abuse against women.

While many Minerals Council members already have policies and systems in place to address sexual harassment and violence in the workplace, this campaign is designed to complement their work and to provide new capacity and impetus throughout the industry regarding this critical issue.
