Summary
| Description |
English: Revenue from mineral exports makes up a large portion of the Democratic Republic of Congo's economy. While Congo is very rich in mineral resources, these deposits require extensive manual labor to extract, often under life-threatening conditions. Mining of cobalt is tied to human rights abuses, such as unsafe worksites, child labor, and forced Congolese labor, in addition to environmental degradation. |
