Investing in Women: Accelerating Progress in the Extractive Industry. During the Jukwaa la Uziduaji 2024, the Legal and Human Rights Centre (LHRC) participated in a pivotal discussion on enhancing women’s involvement in the extractive sector. With the extractive industry largely male-dominated, LHRC is advocating for systemic changes to break down barriers and amplify women’s voices in socio-economic activities. Advocate Joyce Komanya, representing LHRC, stressed the vital role of the Ministry of Minerals in creating indicators and targets that foster women’s participation and career advancement within the sector. She emphasized that supportive policies are essential for empowering women, enabling them to fully engage in extractive processes and contribute meaningfully to value addition. #InvestInWomen #ExtractiveIndustry #LHRC #GenderEquality #JukwaalaUziduaji #Tanzania
