We believe that gender diversity is essential for building a more inclusive and sustainable company. Learn about some of the women who help build the Vale we want to be.
The videos were produced during the pandemic and have complied with all the recommendations on prevention and social distancing. Almost all of the images were captured remotely and, were often, filmed by the characters themselves.
A project idealized and directed by women.
Women are conquering their space inside mining industry and from now on it will only increase.
We have set a goal to double the representation of women by 2030 and will work tirelessly to make them feel represented in a truly inclusive environment for all.

Show your skills and dedication, then we can compete with anyone. Working in a mining
processing plant that is synonymous with a masculine world, makes me even more
challenged to show that women can do it too!

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!

Working in mining is as challenging as it is pleasant, since we learn to deal with
complex processes but are also faced with pre-judgments. All of this means that
women have to prove our capacity to occupy our place. However,
I see that Vale is a company that has sought to be the mirror of society with all
its diversity and that makes me want to grow and develop my skills and competences
here.

It was with the supportive and diverse culture at Vale that I was able to successfully chart a path forward for my own betterment, both at a personal and professional level.
When I took on the role, I realized very quickly that “being the change I wished to see” would have to become far more than just one of my many utterances, but something I would have to follow every day.

I am convinced that women can and should be wherever we want and this place can be
mining, it can be Vale. When we believe in our potential, we set real and clear goals
and prepare ourselves for opportunities. The social, personal,
and corporate challenges are huge, but they are also driving us to seek diversity as a
booster for transformation.

At Vale, we want to hear what you have to say. This page would not be about representativeness if we
could not write it together. Here, women speak up.
On your Instagram account, share your experience of being a woman and working in the mining industry, and
use #MineraçãoPorElas #MiningByWomen so that your post be displayed here. But you need to make your
profile public!

EN: It's been almost four years at @valenobrasil, two years at the Young Apprentice program and two years as employee. I feel honored to be part of this company. I was born in Parauapebas, thus I represent the local workforce in mining in our region. Here, I’ve learned values and acquired knowledge that I apply to my professional and personal life. During this short period in the company, I’ve already worked as a programmer but now I’m a controller and have identified skills of a presenter... hahaha... Let more years of learning and discoveries come! Women’s place is where she wants to be, even in the mining industry.

EN: Proud to be a miner!
It is a pleasure to be working in mining; today more and more women are entering this market that was previously dominated by men. I’ve been in this industry for about 10 years and I love what I do. The beginning wasn’t easy, but I would do it all again. I’m pleased with my job. We can do anything if we have enthusiasm.

É uma satisfação poder trabalhar na mineração, hoje cada vez mais mulheres ingressam neste mercado que antes era majoritariamente masculino. Venho trabalhando no setor minerário há cerca de 10 anos e amo o que faço. Começar não foi fácil, mas faria tudo novamente. Satisfação pelo que faço. Podemos fazer tudo, se tivermos entusiasmo.

It is not easy to operate a giant equipment. Sometimes I feel like a Power Ranger 😂😂😂. I must thank my fellow Port Equipment Operators; they have taught me everything I know. Gratitude
