Mining By Woman
This webseries aims to highlight the work of women in the mining sector, in different roles and hierarchies. We want these videos to inspire more women to build a career in this industry.
The videos were produced during the pandemic and have complied with all the recommendations on Covid-19 prevention and social distancing. Almost all of the images were captured remotely and were often filmed by the characters themselves

In the first season, we told the stories of female employees from the places where we operate in Brazil and around the world. In the new episodes, we will continue to celebrate the women who are helping us to build a better and more inclusive Vale, focusing on the followilg themes: Pioneers, Ethnicity, People with Disabilities, LGBTQIA+, Young Talent and Leadership.

Southeast Automation Technology Services Manager
Bringing diversity shows us that we want to improve, we want to bring a new perspective. We had hits and misses at various times and now we want to go along with a different vision. And this different vision needs to include different people.
Railway Inspector in Mechanized Maintenance
When I tell my story, I am very proud, because going through all I went through as a woman is different than if I were a man. I'm in an area that has always been dominated by men and, when you are a woman, you need to deconstruct many myths and show that yes, you can be in a leadership position in a male team with a lot of expertise.
Health and Safety, Environment and General Services Manager
Women are very careful with what they do, they can really look at the details, I think it's a feminine feature, we can talk about that. And I think that when we talk about the care we have to have with the environment, a woman in front of a process like this manages to have this vision of total zeal that the environment needs to have.
Superintendent, Enterprise Security & Services
Listen to your people, your employees. Make sure they have a voice and that they know that they have a voice. You can’t fix what you don’t know. So it’s important to people feel confortable to bring their concerns, issues or even ideas and suggestions to improve things. We, leaders, need to be open. If you are not open, it makes hard to be a good leader.
All episodes
Women are conquering their space within the mining industry and from now on their presence will only increase.
We have set a goal to double the representation of women in our workforce by 2030 and will work tirelessly to make them feel represented in an environment that is truly inclusive for all.

Flavia Constant
Social Investment and Culture Executive Manager
I would advise men and women to never give up of: respect; the capacity for reflection before acting; sensitivity to their action effects on others; and the interest and continuous search for learning, especially in the social field. All of this goes through patience and the ability to listen/reading. For women, in particular, I would add an extra dose of courage to take a stand, without giving up what they effectively believe to be right.

I aim to break the stereotype that some industries are only suited to a specific gender. Women should be able to work in any industry they choose, and I would like to be a representation in the mining industry to other women out there. I think when women see more representation of themselves in a certain industry, they will be comfortable and drawn to explore a career in a male dominated industry.

The planning area, to which I belong, is led and made up
mostly of women, the management is also led by a woman, for me
this was a very positive surprise because in my experience it
was not usual to see so many women in positions of leadership
in the industrial sector. It is very motivating to see that
growth opportunities exist regardless of gender and that there
is no prejudice of conflict with personal life for women.

Don't stop dreaming of what you want and don't give up before

strengths and weaknesses, seeking continuous improvement. Seek
mentorship and connections for learning and help in the
reflections about career. Be humble and open to learn and
unlearn, whenever necessary, because opportunities arise from
our ability to adapt. Help other people grow, because we don't

I am an Industrial Engineer, and since I decided to pursue this career, I was challenged both in the family and in the professional sphere. I believe that women who are professionals, especially in professions that are traditionally attended mostly by men, the challenge of demonstrating our ability is constant. That makes us as women develop a lot of empathy and resilience, adapting to challenging environments.

opportunities so be prepared to seize those opportunities and
create don't wait for an opportunity to come your way, also
create a few. And my advice to young women who also want to
think about family: don't think it's one or the other, it can
definitely work, I've lived my life looking at an integrated
model, I think now especially with work from home that's
definitely possible. Think about support networks and think
about partnerships in this space.

Vanessa Duprat
Iron Ore Sales Administration Technical Leader
There were always situations in which I could sense some prejudice and gender stereotype. As an example, I remember when I had to fire someone for the first time in my career, my superior said to me that I would be uncapable to do it because I’m “too kind and a sensitive person." Instead of support and training, I found misjudgment. Being empathetic and human doesn’t mean I’m incapable to make difficult decisions and doing what is the right thing to do. On the other hand, it helps to construct connections, brings meaning and purpose and as a consequence, it helps to perform.

Chartering Compliance, Master Analyst
The mining industry can be more inclusive and attractive to women by having more women in leadership roles. Women look up to strong women. They look up to strong working mothers too, so flexibility is very important. I am a working mother of 3 children, and I am given the flexibility to plan my hours and complete my work around my children’s schedule. The company’s benefits also play a huge part as I do not have to worry if my child falls ill as Vale not just looks after my health needs but also my family’s. If I worry less, I’ am able to work better.

The advice that I would give to women interested in working in the mining industry, or just starting their career, is to be bold and courageous and not be afraid to take chances. It’s important to put yourself out there as personal growth often comes from situations that take you outside of your comfort zone and the toughest challenges can often be the most rewarding.

Experience Project Engineer
Coming from a conservative society to work in a prominently male-dominated industry might seem challenging for us, females. However, I honestly think it is a privilege. It is an opportunity to prove myself to myself first and to others second that boundaries are merely mental or cultural than physical. As a proud mother, I feel grateful to all previous and existing Vale females around the world and through its history who inspire me and my colleagues and keep proofing day-by-day that we, like our male colleagues, are equally capable to prevail and shine in the mining industry.

The advice would not only be to women who want to start, but to those of us who are already in it, to try to be mentors to the young women. This will make a larger group of young women interested in working in the mining sector because they will know that within they will find a group that will support them in their incorporation process.

Being an “outsider” – from a country where mining is not a
traditional industry, being female, and especially in the
early years of my career, people were doubting my ability
especially when I don’t speak the same “lingo”. It doesn’t
help that my role as an auditor made people highly sensitive
naturally. However, it helped me to always be humble and
respectful, have an open and inquisitive mindset, and
communicate transparently and empathetically.

Having self-confidence is one of the keys to survive in a male-dominated industry like mining.

I used to hear people saying, “it’s a man’s world”, but look at what women have achieved in Vale these days. Many women have proven to be the best in what they do - and I aspire to become like them one day. So ladies, be confident, speak boldly and be proactive. We can do it too!

The mining industry is a very broad and beautiful sector that is made up of trained people, not matter gender, race, culture, what really matters is that you are willing to face continuous challenges and enjoy what you do. Be empowered women with no doubts about your knowledge, abilities and of what you have been prepared for.

When I feel included I am more motivated to give in more time and energy in my work. When I see my employer is focusing on accepting diversity and create social norms for inclusion, I feel welcome and engaged this encourages me to be more creative. I become a participant not a spectator

Process Control Technician II
Being a woman has never hindered my professional trajectory in mining. I've always been very positive about my goals and sure about my interest in the industry. I believe that the female presence in these environments is important to break paradigms and show that a woman's place is wherever she wants it to be.

In addition to the environment, including senior tone and male peers/professionals, playing an important role in helping your female peers feel included, it is important as women to be confident and also to break the mindset that our gender limits us to certain sectors or functions. With the passion and determination, it is possible to excel anywhere, including the mining industry.
