Silver mining in Bolivia

RTD’s crew has been investigating child labour in Bolivia. Although there are laws in place that forbid children working in dangerous conditions they are often ignored. The Sierro Rico silver mines are the highest in the world, located in the poor region of Potosi. They’re unregulated and unsafe.

Bolivia’s Children’s Code is designed to prevent young people doing these dangerous jobs but many poor kids have little choice. They either work or go hungry.
