The Status of Women Council of the N.W.T. submitted a comprehensive review of the BHP/Diamet NWT Diamonds Project Environmental Impact Statement focusing on socio-economic impacts on women, based on consultation with approximately 80 women in five Aboriginal communities and analysis of relevant literature. The review identifies significant deficiencies in the EIS regarding employment opportunities for women, family impacts of long-distance commuting, alcohol and drug abuse, health concerns, cultural preservation, child care, and community consultation, while providing detailed recommendations for mitigation and monitoring.
