【 摘 要 】

In the companion report to this guide,gender-sensitive approaches to the extractive industry inPeru: improving impacts on women in poverty and theirfamilies, ward and strongman present solid, evidence-basedarguments leading to the conclusion that Extractive Industry(EI) companies could significantly improve their sustainabledevelopment impact on women and families by making somepractical and simple changes in their working practices. Thereport also provides extensive evidence of weaknesses incompany and government policies and practices thatcontribute to a previously under recognized issue: men arecapturing more of the benefits of EI projects, which are notnecessarily reaching the wider family; while women andchildren experience more of the risks that arise from EI projects.
