CLEAN: Child labourers in Bolivia fight for their rights

In Bolivia, many children work in mines to support their families, earning half the adult wage. The work is dangerous, with risks like falling and exposure to dynamite. A union for child workers, UNATSBO, advocates for better conditions and legal changes. Despite economic necessity, efforts are made to provide education through NGOs. The government promises improved conditions but maintains the legal working age.
