Conflict gold mining is a major issue in many countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo, where gold mining has been used to fund armed groups. The use of forced labor and child labor is common in conflict gold mining, and many miners work in dangerous and inhumane conditions.

The impact of conflict gold mining on human rights is significant. Miners are often forced to work long hours for little pay, and are denied basic labor rights such as the right to organize and the right to fair wages. Children are often forced to work in gold mines, and are denied an education and basic healthcare.

The international community must work together to address the issue of conflict gold mining. This includes supporting ethical and sustainable mining practices, holding companies accountable for their actions, and supporting local communities.
