Three things can be done:

Have in mind that child mining labor exists and touches your daily lives through the electronic devices that you cherish.

Create or support efforts of social movements to address the root causes of this problem, including poverty and lack of free education in the mining zones.

Write to your electronic manufacturers requesting them to map their supply chains and avoid using minerals emanating from child labor.

Your actions, while they may seem small, could have a huge effect for hundreds of thousands of children in the Congo.

"as multinacionais só boicotarão (a extracção de coltan) se nós cidadãos fizermos a devida pressão"

"nessa região do Congo desde 1998 a 2008 terão morrido 5 milhões de seres humanos"

"nós continuamos a olhar para esses seres humanos como se fossem baratas"

"naquele país as pessoas para terem um dólar por dia estariam dispostas a dar dois sacos de sangue"

"por cada quilo de coltan morrem 2 a 3 crianças"

"somos nós que utilizamos essas matérias primas e nós sabemos como elas são extraídas"
