• Sommario/riassunto: Extractive Industry projects in Peru impact differently on men and women: men secure more of the benefits and women experience more of the risks. This book presents the current reality in Peru, why improving these development outcomes on women is so important to companies and government, and indicates approaches that government, companies, civil society and communities can take to improve the impacts of extractive industry projects on women â?? and through them the development outcome on the wider family and community.
