Abstract

Mining operations are envisaged to improve the conditions of members of their host communities (communities where they operate) by creating employment opportunities, developing infrastructure and enhancing their wellbeing. Yet despite these operations, research shows that these communities are underdeveloped and impoverished, and women are more severely affected than men. As an advocate for social justice, social work is instrumental in addressing these impacts, particularly through scientific research. This qualitative social work study explored the experiences and challenges of women residing in the Driekop mining community of Limpopo province, South Africa. The findings revealed that women experience both the benefits and challenges associated with these mining operations. Keywords: challenges, experiences, mining community, social work, women

林波波省driekop矿区妇女的经历与挑战
设想采矿作业是为了通过创造就业机会、发展基础设施和提高他们的福利来改善东道社区(采矿作业所在社区)成员的条件。然而,尽管采取了这些行动,研究表明,这些社区欠发达和贫困,妇女受到的影响比男子更严重。作为社会正义的倡导者,社会工作在解决这些影响方面发挥了重要作用,特别是通过科学研究。这项定性的社会工作研究探讨了居住在南非林波波省Driekop采矿社区的妇女的经历和挑战。调查结果显示,妇女既享受到与这些采矿作业有关的好处,也面临着挑战。关键词:挑战,经验,矿业社区,社会工作,女性
