Peru: Children Main Victims of Mining Contamination

Massive protests across Peru have been targeting transnational mining companies whose operations, with the complicity of the government, are contaminating the environment. In Simon Bolivar in Central Peru, 60% of local children suffer the effects of lead, cadmium, and arsenic poisoning. Their parents are participating in a march on Lima to raise awareness of the problem and demand the government implement the 32-step plan it approved two years to address the situation.
