Photo by Pep Bonet / NOOR images Burkina Faso, August 2015 Tikando artisanal gold mine. Diggers wait their turn to descend into the darkness. Sandbags and wooden poles are makeshift measures to reinforce the shaft walls, up to 170m deep. Underground work counts as a ?worst form of child labourO, strictly forbidden for minors, according to the ILO and Burkinab law. Diggers descend shafts unprotected ? helmets, gloves, decent shoes or goggles are unheard of. They are often drugged to suppress fear and hunger during their long shifts underground in the claustrophobic shafts. Mining continues into the wet season, despite the high risk of shaft collapse.
MINIMUM PRICE 100 EUR
