Yet systematic barriers, entrenched discrimination and restrictive societal norms exclude women from fully sharing in tanzanite\u2019s wealth and perpetuate cycles of poverty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drawing on a mixed-methods study \u2013 including structured surveys with 26 women miners \u2013 the findings reveal sharp disparities in work roles and income between women and men. Women remain concentrated in informal, auxiliary roles, such as gem sorting, carrying materials, and food vending, and tend to earn less than half of what men make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The study identifies and contextualizes key barriers rooted in marginalization, low education, limited training, inadequate healthcare, and restricted access to finance. Moreover, the 2018 construction of a wall around the Mirerani mines \u2013 intended to curb illegal mining and strengthen state oversight \u2013 created yet another barrier for women, as few hold official permits or recognized roles. In response, women have adopted coping strategies such as relying on social networks and joining savings groups, but these are not enough, with many forced to cut essential spending for their families.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report underscores the urgent need for policies that promote gender equity in mining and align with the Sustainable Development Goals, especially SDG 5 on Gender Equality and SDG 8 on Decent Work and Economic Growth.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div

Yet, the country's mining sector is marked by persistent socio-economic inequalities, particularly affecting women. In Mirerani \u2013 the only place on earth where tanzanite is found \u2013 women face systematic barriers to decent work, equipment, training and leadership positions.  These challenges \u2013 compounded by entrenched discrimination and restrictive societal norms \u2013 exclude women from fully benefiting from tanzanite wealth and perpetuate cycles of poverty.\u00a0 Carried out by the Tanzanian civil society organization CSP (Civic Social Protection Foundation) with support from IPIS, this report helps close the critical knowledge gap on the socio-economic and health challenges faced by women miners in Mirerani, providing evidence-based insights to guide inclusive and gender-responsive policy design.","og_url":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/","og_site_name":"IPIS","article_publisher":"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/IPISResearch","article_modified_time":"2025-09-23T09:10:23+00:00","og_image":[{"width":2560,"height":1696,"url":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cover-image-scaled.jpg","type":"image\/jpeg"}],"twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_site":"@IPISResearch","twitter_misc":{"Dur\u00e9e de lecture estim\u00e9e":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/","url":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/","name":"Voices from Tanzania - Well-being and economic mobility of women in the Mirerani Tanzanite mining area, Manyara\u00a0 - IPIS","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/#website"},"primaryImageOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/#primaryimage"},"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cover-image-scaled.jpg","datePublished":"2025-09-23T08:07:36+00:00","dateModified":"2025-09-23T09:10:23+00:00","breadcrumb":{"@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/#breadcrumb"},"inLanguage":"fr-FR","potentialAction":[{"@type":"ReadAction","target":["https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/"]}]},{"@type":"ImageObject","inLanguage":"fr-FR","@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/#primaryimage","url":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cover-image-scaled.jpg","contentUrl":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/Cover-image-scaled.jpg","width":2560,"height":1696},{"@type":"BreadcrumbList","@id":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/voices-from-tanzania-well-being-and-economic-mobility-of-women-in-the-mirerani-tanzanite-mining-area-manyara\/#breadcrumb","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"Home","item":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/fr\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"name":"Publications","item":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"name":"Voices from Tanzania","item":"https:\/\/ipisresearch.be\/publication-category\/voices-from-tanzania\/"},{"@type":"ListItem","position":4,"name":"Voices from Tanzania &#8211;
