IDWIM: International Day of Women in Mining, Thursday June 15, 2023

Following the successful 2022 launch of International Day of Women in Mining (IDWIM) to celebrate women of the mining industry, International Women in Mining (IWiM) declare Thursday June 15, 2023 the second annual Global Day of Observance.

The day celebrates women in the mining sector and their valuable contributions, while raising awareness of the need for gender equity and simultaneous promotion for change for a more inclusive sector, on or around the fifteenth day of June each year.

IDWIM brings to light advancements made and achieved so far, providing information and best practices for the industry to level up. It also provides mining stakeholders with the opportunity to continue to become champions and allies by working on initiatives in a collective and collaborative manner.

IWiM Director, Barbara Dischinger extends a warm global invitation to all – not just women – to celebrate women’s perseverance, contributions, talent, and spirit in the mining sector.

“All are welcome to join in including individual professionals, Women in Mining (WIM) organisations, mining companies, academia, supply chain, technical and professional service consultancies, sector associations, smelters and refineries, governments, policy makers, international institutions, unions and civil society. Host your own activities to mark the day and join us to make IDWIM into a festival” – Barbara Dischinger
