摘要

本文通过对加纳38名女矿工和9名非矿工的定性访谈，研究了非洲手工和小规模采矿（ASM）中性暴力和基于性别的暴力（SGBV）的复杂性。我们的发现揭示了五个主题；1)采矿工作/角色和交易空间保护中的性行为，2)工作期间对女矿工的身体攻击，3)性剥削和性操纵，4)矿区日常性骚扰：身体触摸和性别歧视言论，5)情感/心理虐待-这是ASM空间中女性遭受SGBV的基础。这些发现对ASM中的女性赋权具有启示意义，本文对此进行了讨论。

Sexual and gender-based violence in artisanal and small-scale mining in Ghana: Implications for African women's socioeconomic empowerment and well-being

This paper examines the complexities of sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV) in artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) in Africa, drawing from qualitative interviews with 38 women miners and 9 non-miners in Ghana. Our findings revealed five themes; 1) sex for mining jobs/roles and trading space protection, 2) physical aggression towards women miners during work, 3) sexual exploitations and manipulations, 4) everyday sexual harassment at mine sites: body touching and sexist comments, and 5) emotional/psychological abuse – which underlie women's experiences of SGBV in ASM spaces. These findings have implications for women's empowerment in ASM as discussed in the paper.
