Abstract

The exclusion and exploitation of women in the employment and economy of the mining sector is glaring, yet invisible. From a gender lens, the mining industry holds huge paradoxes between reality and what is acknowledged. Women as a workforce in the mining industry are mainly outside the formal employment, yet form a large section of mine workers. The industry is considered to be masculine and unsuitable for women, yet in India women are found to be working in a wide range of mineral extraction and processing activities.
