Why Gender Matters: A Resource Guide for Integrating Gender Considerations Into Communities Work at Rio Tinto

This guide is structured in four parts. Part 1 introduces the guide, and situates gender within Rio Tinto’s core operating principles of diversity and human rights. Part 2 is the core component — the “how to”. This section takes an instructive approach and provides clear direction on integrating gender into our work, as requested by the Communities practioneres who reviewed the guide. Part 3 provides additional reading for those who want to delve more deeply into the background debates. Part 4 provides a list of references used within the guide, a list of Rio Tinto references and some useful websites.
