To G7 leaders meeting in France:

We urge you to support the UN proposal for a Global Minerals Trust to end child labour in mining. Make this a global system to protect the most vulnerable, ensure fair benefits, and give countries real oversight of the resources on their land. You have the power to set a clear precedent: no community should be sacrificed for the world’s technological future.

End sacrifice zones!
Muntosh was 6 when he found a large block of cobalt and removed it. Since that day, his body has hurt, and he saw a landslide kill his brother next to him. He is one of more than a million children digging for the minerals that power our world with their tiny hands.

We have to do something, and we know how: a Global Mineral Trust, an agreement that could finally regulate this lethal industry, providing a future where children grow up to use the technology, not just fuel it.

In 10 days, G7 leaders meet, and critical minerals are part of the discussion, but for profit not for children's protection. United Kingdom and Canada can act on that - and we know they respond to pressure. Sign now, and we will make sure children's voices from this sacrifice zones are impossible to ignore inside the negotiation room.
