I hope you help me put pressure on the company behind this. Let's begin with the ugly face of the beauty industry and company.
MICA are sparkly minerals that helps makeup shine. And makeup has a lot of MICA in it. It is mind in place like MADAGASCAR and INDIA unfortunately, often by children as
young as 4 years old here small bodies and fragile hands do the work because they can fit the narrow mine tunnels. For many research and discover there are over 32K children miners of MICA just in INDIA and MADAGASCAR in this half a billion dollar industry they work for less than a dollar a day and they risk their lives for that dollar.
When tunnels collapse some children get injured, paralyzed , and even die. Around 20 children die in the name of makeup every month just in one of the mines in india. The world's chief deposits of mica are found in India at Bihar and in the Nellore district of Madras. Over 50% of the mica used today comes from these two regions.
They climb the coco trees and caring heavy and dangerous knives. They carry bags taller then their own bodies and some of them if they don't work fast enough , they get beaten.
trafficked and forced to work, many of them don't ever get to taste the chocolate. And this has been known for 19 years now. Companies promised to end cocoa child labor and even spent 215 million dollar to address this in IVORY COAST and GANA. But after 19 years the same companies are still making big profits off of the cheap trafficked child labor.
We know that it is a very tough truth. But together we can make their lives better for many years children are silently crying because companies are deaf to their cries. Paraphs it's the time we the adults come together and do something for these children. So that the companies can come up with better solutions and stop the unethical child labor.
