Miners in artisanal cooperatives often face precarious working conditions, unfair payment practices, and other violations of their human and labour rights—yet they rarely have access to effective channels to raise their grievances. Power imbalances within cooperatives further restrict their rights.

Using concrete examples from Bolivia and the DRC, this webinar will explore how grievance mechanisms can empower miners to raise their grievances and improve their working conditions.

Electronics Watch monitoring partners Centro de Investigación y Servicio Popular (CISEP) and Southern Africa Resource Watch (SARW) will share experiences from Bolivia and the DRC, helping workers to set up grievance mechanisms in cooperative mines.

The webinar will feature an interactive discussion with our monitoring partners, followed by a Q&A session.

Who should attend?
Electronics Watch affiliates, Low Emission Vehicle Programme participants, and other stakeholders in the supply chains of electronics products and batteries.

Join us to learn how grievance mechanisms can drive fairer mining practices!
