16/7/2010 - Human Rights Watch discovers conditions of forced and child labourers on tobacco farms in Kazakhstan to be terrrible and the US Congress responds.
It has been revealed that a tobacco firm in Kazakhstan has been using child labour to produce and harvest tobacco crops. Many of the children are the children of migrant workers from the neighbouring Kyrgyzstan.

The employment of children under 15 years old is illegal under the 1989 Convention on the Rights of the Child. The abuses were discovered in a fact-finding mission by Human Rights Watch. The report of the mission is titled “Hellish Work.”

The child labourers on tobacco farms in Enbekshikazakh district work grueling 20-hour days with some intermittent breaks. They are required to function on only than 4 hours of sleep a day. The children are as young as 10 years old and are overexposed to harsh pesticides, lack workers’ rights and cannot easily access safe drinking water as irrigation channels are contaminated with pesticides.

Even more dangerously, without adequate protection for their skin and respiratory systems, the children are exposed to high levels of nicotine. Many children have developed rashes.

The organization commented on the situation, highlighting the importance of the remuneration system. “Migrant workers get paid once at the end of the season by the volume of tobacco that they produce,” explains Human Rights Watch Deputy Director for Europe and East Asia. “That incentives child labor because these migrant workers travel with families and they need to get as many hands on the tobacco as possible.”
