The mining industry holds many unspoken truths for women—challenges that often go unnoticed yet shape every step of their journey. From battling stereotypes that question their strength and leadership to navigating environments that can feel isolating or unwelcoming, women in mining face a reality that demands resilience and courage.
Our 2025 theme, Step Up and Stand Out, is a rallying cry to confront these truths head-on.
It invites you to claim your space boldly, to transform silence into powerful conversation, and to rise with confidence in a sector that is ready for change. This is your moment to break free from the shadows, connect with others who understand your path, and lead with steadfast strength.
Join the Women in Mining SA (WiMSA) Symposium from 23-24 July 2025 at the Randpark Golf Club, Johannesburg and discover how stepping up can lead to standing out—not just for yourself but for every woman forging her way in mining.
