Time to Get Children Out of the Hazardous Supply Chain

Take the example of small-scale gold mining, where child labor is common and very hazardous. 13-year-old "Richard," in Tanzania, described to us how the mining pit he was working in collapsed on him, knocking him unconscious and causing internal injuries. Children also use toxic mercury to process gold and risk mercury poisoning, which causes brain damage and even death.
