In its report, the HRW learned that in 2015, children in the Philippines experienced human rights abuses citing a documented report in 2015 that revealed children are engaged in small-scale gold mining, exposed to extremely hazardous work conditions, working deep underground, diving underwater to find gold and processing ore with toxic mercury.
The HRW also reported that hundreds of homeless and poor were detained in November to clear the areas with street-dwellers for the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, also done during the other high-profile events such as the Papal visit.
