Abstract

Equal representation of women in the workplace is considered as a condition that is favorable to women’s interests and not only a demand for fairness or democracy. Increasing the participation and involvement of women in all fields of work has become one of the discourses that has been continuously debated in Indonesia so far. This research focuses on describing the tone of gender equality in terms of the employment performance of women in mining sector companies. This study uses an exploratory qualitative approach as a methodology that provides an analysis of philosophical assumptions about the phenomenon of gender equality in the mining sector. Discrimination experienced by women workers in mining companies includes additional assignments, verbal harassment, and opportunities to express opinions. Additionally, women often take professions that are not their responsibility, and their educational history affects how well-suited they are to their jobs. Discrimination against women workers has been able to be resolved using different strategies. Opportunities for opinions that women workers get have succeeded in solving both individual problems and work team problems. Colleagues are often quite cooperative providing a work environment where women workers are able to express opinions and solutions.
