Cobalt is used to make batteries for household items and electric vehicles.

If we use a #DRC hashtag, might be easier to find since they finally work.

Women and girls living in cobalt-mining communities in the Democratic Republic of the Congo are reporting a “staggering” rise in serious reproductive health issues, including miscarriages and birth defects due to contact with contaminated water they have to bathe in and clean their homes with.
