Petition Object strongly in the use of children for the mining of cobalt.

It was shown on a sky news report this week children taking part in the mining of cobalt in the Democratic Republic Of Congo. I want the government to take measures to stop this. Multinationals need to source this mineral ethically in the making of batteries for smartphones and laptops.

More details

Only sight the footage shown on a special report done to highlight the children's plight this week March 11th 2017 by Sky News.
