COMPANY OVERVIEW
Working for Safe, Inclusive, and Respectful!
Me Too Mining Association was created to facilitate a conversation about sexual violence, sexual harassment, racism, intimidation, and discrimination experienced by workers in mining, mineral exploration and mining impacted communities.
“Me Too” is women, men and the beautiful spectrum in between, finding space to heal, share, find resources, find community, change cultures, prevent violence and harm and move our lives forward.
