Mining can contribute to Liberia’s development, but who benefits, whose voices shape decisions, and how communities are protected from harm matter just as much.

Yesterday, medica Liberia, as part of a CSO Consortium on Mining, co-hosted the ‘Civil Society and Local Communities Roundtable on Mining and Inclusive Sustainable Development in Monrovia’.

The dialogue was organized by SDI, Integrity Watch Liberia, CENTAL, IDL, Civil Society Independent Forest Monitors, medica Liberia and SEED. It brought together community representatives, civil society organizations and other stakeholders to discuss mining governance and priorities for inclusive and sustainable development.

SEED and medica Liberia co-led the session on Gender Equality, Women’s Rights and GBV in the Mining Sector, exploring how mining-sector reform can address gender inequalities in economic opportunities, participation in decisions, and protection from violence in mining-affected communities.

These discussions identified concrete policy reform actions to guide further engagement with relevant stakeholders.

“When we began working with women after the war in 2006, we needed to build trust. We did this by engaging trusted women from the communities as volunteers to walk alongside other women through their healing journey. That is how our community-based work began.” — Elizabeth Greene, Master Trainer, medica Liberia

What began with women supporting women has grown into medica Liberia’s community-based approach to SGBV response.

At SVRI, medica Liberia and medica mondiale e. V. will present a poster sharing that journey and what we have learned about survivor support rooted in communities.

medica Liberia stands firmly behind this call: women's representation in Liberia has proven too fragile to rest on appointments alone, and the Elections Law must make gender parity an enforceable rule — not a promise renewed every election.

Liberia faces gender inequality in political representation despite recent strides, highlighting the need for structural change in electoral laws to ensure lasting parity and enforceable gender provisions.
