According to figures from the Integral Mining Formalization Registry (Reinfo) as of March 2025, from a total of 83,773 inscriptions, more than 64 thousand correspond to natural persons. Of these, around 13 thousand inscriptions are women (21%) and 79% men, says the General Directorate of Mining Formalization (DGFM). The participation of women is very active in the mining sector and, at the level of small artisanal mining and mining, they have managed to form the National Network of Women of Small Mining and Artisanal Mining.
Meanwhile, at the regional level, they formed the Mape Womens Network of Madre de Dios, promoting the interchamping of information and experiences, and facilitating access to negotiation spaces and resources with public and private entities. According to the figures shown, mining activity is no stranger to women in our country, they also show that there are different realities in different levels of participation in decision making, access to resources and economic autonomy for women who carry out this activity.
It should be noted that, the MINEM approved, in December 2023, the gender plan for small artisanal mining and mining 2023-2025, with the aim of incorporating the gender approach in the planning and implementation process in the activities of small artisanal mining and mining, to promote access to equal opportunities for women and men dedicated to these activities. In that line, from the Minem we extend our greeting and recognition to all women for their important work and effort, renewing our commitment to promote their participation in the mining sector, highlighting their contribution in the development of the country.
