Editor-in-chief N.ARIUNTUYA In recent years, women are rising to higher positions in Mongolia, such as in strategic level negotiations, large businesses, and projects.
This is important progress. In particular, an interesting phenomenon in the last two, or three years is the fact that women are strongly promoted to the executive level of major mining companies in Mongolia.
Currently, 17 women have been appointed as executive directors at large mining companies with state, private, and foreign investment.
These women are creating a strong culture by leading the largest mining companies in the mineral resources sector with vision and determination. Over 40,000 men are employed in the mining sector. Their career path will undoubtedly inspire and role model for many girls. Furthermore, motivating other companies, society, and the public is also effective in changing the subconscious stereotypes and perceptions of the so-called men-dominated industry. It is significant to create a space for women in the mining industry and introduce their biographies and business careers. Because it has a significant contribution to closing the gap in the representation of women in the industry and eliminating gender inequality.
Thus, Mining Insight magazine is launching a new project to contribute to the correction of stereotypes in society. Accordingly, we are developing journalistic content with a series of biographies of 17 women CEOs and making it accessible to the public. At the beginning of this series, we invited S.Enkhtuya, Executive Director of “Monpolymet” Group. Check out her biography article in the October issue of Mining Insight. Our new column aims to inspire thousands of women who work silently behind others by highlighting women’s leadership and is funded by an international organization, which the magazine’s editors will publicize. In this way, we will keep the owners of the biography free from suspicion, and distribute our content to make it accessible without limiting ourselves to the printed pages of our magazine. Our colleagues are happy that our wish is being realized.
As a media company, we hope that our initiative will contribute to the elimination of gender inequality and the disparity in the representation of women in the Mongolian mining industry.
