Gender issues are of great importance in the ASM sector as large numbers of women tend to form the lowest level in the sector. To investigate the extent, Kuntala undertook a scoping study on the gender and livelihood issues in the small mines and quarries in South Asia. This site contains a number of documents such as conference papers as well as reports from the scoping study that relate to gender issues in the ASM sector.
