Evidence of different forms of exploitation has been found in ASM communities in several countries: Peru, Colombia, Suriname, Mali and the Democratic Republic of Congo, among others. The informality that often characterizes ASM, as well as the lack of support from regulatory bodies complicates the task of understanding and managing the issue.With this toolkit, the Alliance for Responsible Mining (ARM), Humanity United and Solidaridad seek to fill an existing gap in preventing, identifying and dealing with forced labour in an ASM context. It is intended to help practitioners better understand how forced labour occurs in this context, and to give them more elements to tackle such situations.
