About this listen

In this episode, we talk about Child Labour and Cobalt mining in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The goal of this episode is to give you further insights into the working conditions in the mining industry in Congo and to show the point of views of three key stakeholders including the Government of Congo, Amnesty International and an international company buying cobalt in the DRC.

We would like to bring some food for thought asking you the following questions:

1. What other stakeholders can be identified in connection with the cobalt mining in Congo? Elaborate on what their stakes are.

2. Phones are sold everywhere, including the EU. How could the EU as an institution help with these issues?

3. As mentioned in the podcast, a child-labor-free certificate could be a future goal. Who could be responsible for creating such a certificate and what would it look like?

Hope you enjoyed this podcast's episode and remember: We have the opportunity to build a better world. Make it count.
