Boycott Brands Profiting from Congo Blood Minerals! To: Global Consumers, Ethical Businesses, and Human Rights Advocates The Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) is rich in minerals like cobalt, gold, and coltan which are critical for making smartphones, laptops, electric cars, and jewelry. But behind these products lies a horrifying reality: millions of Congolese people, including children, are suffering and dying due to exploitative mining conditions, armed conflicts fueled by mineral wealth, and corporate greed. Tech giants and major corporations—Apple, Tesla, Samsung, Microsoft, Google, Sony, and many others—continue to source minerals linked to child labor, forced labor, and war crimes. While they claim ethical sourcing, reports and investigations reveal that their supply chains remain tainted with exploitation. Why This Matters: - Over 40,000 children work in toxic mines, forced into hard labor under brutal conditions. - Armed groups and foreign corporations control these mines, fueling a war that has killed over 6 million people which is one of the deadliest conflicts since WWII. - Women and young girls face systematic rape and abuse in mining regions, used as weapons of war to terrorize communities. - Workers endure modern slavery, earning less than $2 a day while corporations make billions. Despite global outcry, companies continue to buy these blood-stained minerals, hiding behind weak supply chain regulations and ethical sourcing claims that do not reflect reality. We Demand: A full ban on sourcing minerals from conflict-ridden mines until companies can prove ethical and humane sourcing. Greater transparency and accountability in supply chains, no more hidden exploitation. Investment in sustainable, community-led mining initiatives that ensure fair wages and safety for workers. Support for survivors of mining-related violence, including medical care, trauma recovery, and economic alternatives.
