Annie Sinanduku Mwange

Annie Sinanduku Mwange is a Congolese miner and activist. In 2024, she was included in 100 Women.

Career In 2010 Mwange launched a program for orphaned children in Kailo Territory, but was unable to reach many of them because they were working in mines. Mwange was aware of the need to improve women's livelihoods, which would subsequently eradicate child labour. Further, women were affected by sexual harassment and inequality in the workplace. Because of this, Mwange began a grassroots movement to fight inequality and sexual harassment in mines.

As a strategy to avoid inequality and sexual harassment, Mwange wants the women in her network to own and hold leadership positions in mining operations, in place of the peripheral labor that has been assigned to them, like washing extracted minerals. The same year, Mwange was recognized as one of the BBC's "100 Women."
