HEJSupport is happy to announce a new issue of Women and Environments International magazine (WEI) on Artisanal and Small-Scale Gold Mining: Women and Health. The issue is available on-line at: http://www.yorku.ca/weimag/
Many of the contributors are from countries that are seriously affected by gold and other primary metal mining. Their stories are emotional, caring and inspiring. Articles are accompanied by photos, many of which are hard to look at, as they reveal disturbing truths of what it means for people to live with mercury contaminating every day of their lives.
