These children have usually suffered trauma, psychological or physical
abuse and sexual abuse. Often they have done very dangerous work, with
dangerous substances and chemicals, working in tobacco fields where
children risk nicotine poisoning, working in small-scale gold mining and
using toxic mercury to extract gold from the ore. We have also
documented the use of child labor in tanneries, in leather-making in
Bangladesh. Children are dealing with a whole cocktail of toxic
chemicals that are cancer-inducing. With tools and machines, you see
children having all kinds of accidents and you have immediate health
effects and disabilities that arise from this.
