Mining and Women in Lao PDR and Thailand Forum

On 21-22 October 2015, our team will organise a public forum to disseminate findings from the project on mining and women in Lao PDR and Thailand. The key focus of the forum will include:
- Socio-economic impacts of mining in Vilabouly and Tabklor Mining communitites;
- Mining and its effect on women;
- Mining and economic empowerment for women and girls;
- Mining and health and education influence on women; and
- Mining and gender-specific roles in modern Lao and Thai contexts.

The event will be held at the Sukosol Hotel and will be well attended by delegates from the Australian Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, Mining Companies from Lao PDR and Thailand, researchers from Australian, Lao and Thai universities, and policy makers.
