Living with Dignity: Sexual and Gender Based Violence and Sexual Exploitation and Harassment Prevention in the Mining Sector

This formative research will be qualitative in nature and will seek to determine the current state regarding experiences of SGBV/SEA as well as sexual harassment in the workplace, at home and in the affected community as well as of grievance/referral mechanisms. The research will look at these issues comprehensively, examining the experiences of women, men, girls, boys, and those with other gender identities. The aim of the research is not to name and shame anyone, but to identify what, broadly speaking, the nature and scale of the problem is and to improve the response to and prevention of SEA and GBV within Anglo American’s internal system and mining communities by strengthening community capacities to identify, respond to and prevent the perpetuation of SGBV/SEA through social norms. - Identify what systems are in place; - Review how these works; - Identify what possible gaps might exist and what emerging best practices can be identified.
