Progress for women in a historically male sector is at risk from anti-woke backlash, say leaders
Deshnee Naidoo has spent her career climbing the ladder in mining and feels the mindset change towards women has been “phenomenal”. But lately, the former head of Vale Base Metals, a nickel and cobalt producer, has noticed a worrying backlash. When candidates from diverse backgrounds secure jobs, some men in the industry have started using the acronym DEI — diversity, equity and inclusion — in a derogatory reframing: “Didn’t Earn It”. “I am hearing more anti-wokeism voices.
Another survey by PwC found that two-thirds of leaders expected skills shortages to have a big impact on profitability within the next 10 years. A particular challenge of the extractive industries is location: mines are often in remote spots around the world. At times, the rural communities they are in have different norms to western companies, putting female workers at risk of gender-based violence or local backlash.
