| Summary: | Women are not receiving equal benefits
of the global development of oil, gas, and mineral
resources, even as they shoulder a greater burden of the
negative impacts. Not only are men consulted more than women
in the project-planning process, but men's access to
subsequent economic benefits is much greater. The World Bank
is supporting efforts to increase gender equality at every
phase of development of extractive industries by removing
constraints for more and better jobs for women, dismantling
barriers to women's ownership and control of assets,
and enhancing women's voices and agency. |
