Peru PE
In Peru's Madre de Dios region, illegal gold mining camps operate with forced labor, child labor and sex trafficking. Indigenous communities trapped in debt bondage are coerced into mining and logging, while the mining has caused about 139,000 hectares of deforestation and poisoned rivers with mercury.
Brazil BR
Brazilian labor inspectors rescued 39 enslaved workers from an illegal gold mine in the northern state of Pará, where they lived in open sheds without drinking water. The mine was run by an owner already on Brazil's "dirty list" of employers using slave labor, and it was the third raid on one of her operations.
