Child slavery in the artisanal mining and quarrying sector 2011, para. 84
Paragraph- Paragraph text
- ILO is leading a global programme entitled "Minors out of Mining", which includes at least 15 countries and partners from the mining industry such as the International Federation of Chemical, Energy, Mine and General Workers' Unions (ICEM) and the International Council on Mining and Metals (ICMM), along with Communities and Small-Scale Mining (CASM). The aim of the programme is to effectively and efficiently deal with child exploitation in the informal mining and quarrying sector. Projects at the national level are designed to address the root causes and combat child labour in small-scale mining. Governments lead the work with support from workers, donors, employers and communities. ILO has implemented successful projects to stop children working in mines in many countries, such as Mongolia and Philippines, which focused on increasing the educational and vocational training opportunities for children. In Philippines, their project also focused on providing alternative livelihood schemes for the parents of children working in the mines.
