Child labour is a harrowing experience for anyone involved. In order to end this travesty of child labour, the world must unite as one to create coalitions and companies that aid child labourers. Desperate families sell their children in order to get a loan from corrupt employers. The child is treated like a slave; he or she has no say in the matter and can be forced to work up to 18 hours a day, seven days a week. The conditions of these children are of great public concern. U.S. Secretary of Labour Robert Reich and other notable politicians attempt to end the suffering of these impoverish children. Several companies and organizations are also concerned with the squalor these workers live in and their staggering working conditions.
Child labour continues to exist throughout the world. Children work because their survival and that of their families depend on it, and in some cases, because unscrupulous adults take advantage of their vulnerability. is also due to weaknesses in education systems and is deeply rooted in cultural and social attitudes and traditions. The problem is further compounded by the fact that child labour remains hidden from public view, making the problem seem less of a priority.
There are many ways on which we can stop child labour. We could prioritise primary education. It is no coincidence that the countries where child labour is worst are those that spend least on primary education. Primary education should be free, compulsory, well-resourced, relevant and nearby. It is much easier to monitor school attendance that to inspect factories and workshops. Sponsoring a child doesn't solve this problem - it might make us feel good, but it only helps educate one child, isolating them from others in their community.
Nike, GAP, Wal-Mart, Kmart, JC Penny and other department stores are all guilty of forcing children to work as slaves. Child r is inhumane, immoral, and unjust. The most-emphasized idea is that of consumer voice. Moreover, forbidding companies that use to participate in free-trade agreements is one economic strategy, which could be used to combat . The Rugmark campaign in India is a good example of customer awareness. Boycotts of child-produced products are an excellent way for consumers to make their opinions known to large corporations. The label on these products only tells half the story because most of work is done in one country and the finishing touches are done in another.
As you can see I am strongly against child labour, and I suggest you do the same. It is a horrifying topic, so that's why we need to unite and be against child labour. Many children are missing out on their childhood due to this terrifying experience and not getting the good education they deserve. However, I understand that there is some people who agree with child labour such as their ‘employers’ but that does not explain why they are depriving a child of a good education and a child happy childhood.
