印度:纪录片研究化妆品产业的童工问题

[此翻译由企业责任资源中心提供]

 “丑陋的美丽面孔 - 童工是你化妆的底妆吗?”,2019年8月5日

云母(Mica)是一种天然存在的矿物质,因其闪亮的质量而广泛用于化妆品...现在你很难找到一个不使用它的化妆品品牌。然而,其采购通常是非法的,涉及童工并且与健康和安全风险有关。

这就是印度的情况,世界上60%的云母都在这里生产。尽管被禁止,但是贾坎德邦州(Jharkhand State)的贫困人口仍然开采云母。这正在摧毁该州的自然保护区,但世界对云母化妆品的兴趣日益增长,意味着生产仍在继续。

对于许多当地人来说,这是他们唯一的收入来源。尽管与生产云母相关的严重职业健康风险存在,但很多家庭都总动员在该行业工作,包括非常年轻的孩子。没有一个月是没有人在矿井中死亡的。

儿童奴役劳动在这里非常普遍。被迫工作和被剥夺教育,这些孩子只有一个选择 - 永远被困在这种危险和低薪的工作。

虽然许多大型化妆品公司拒绝直接从非法矿山购买云母,但他们并不怀疑他们光顾的加工厂从哪里获得供应。与此同时,贾坎德邦的绝大多数矿山都是非法的。
