Pregnant women in #Kabwe are at higher risk of pre-eclampsia, gestational hypertension & miscarriage due to toxic lead poisoning. This is a violation of their #humanrights and Anglo must step up to its #ESG commitments by acknowledging its responsibility #InternationalWomensDay

Lead poisoning unjustly impacts the most vulnerable. In children, the effects can range from behavioural issues to brain damage and death in severe cases. Anglo American has a responsibility to the children in the Kabwe communities blighted by their past mining operations.

We call on Anglo American to recognise their responsibility towards the children whose futures have been impacted by their lead mining legacy. Lead poisoning can affect neurodevelopment and IQ, resulting in poor school performance, behavioural disorders and poor lifetime earnings
