CHILD LABOUR FINAL
CHILD LABOUR
Who really makes your clothes? Of course we all love a good shop-most of your pocket money probably goes on latest high street labels. But although that top you bought last weekend might look good hanging on your wardrobe, would you be so chuffed if you know who made it?
Maybe you have to empty the dishwasher, tidy the house or wash your folks car for your pocket money. But imagine having to work for 12 hours a day-without any kind of break-in a dusty, dirty factory for only a few pence. That’s a reality for some young people who are at beginning of a chain that eventually ends with your clothes hitting the high street. Girl children have to act as maid servants and baby sitters. They cook and clean, they wash clothes and collect fuel.
Childhood is a vital and powerful experience in each individual's lifetime. It is the most important and impressionable period of learning. Throughout all of the highs and the lows, childhood is remembered forever. Although children have many rights, in some developing countries these rights are not always protected. Older, manipulative adults are taking advantage of children to make a profit for themselves. This is known as child labour, and it happens much more than many people realize. Child labour is corrupt and there is no place for it in our modern world today.
Child labour is one of the most important issues in the world. It is an issue that is worth knowing about because it is the fastest and most effective way of destroying the world’s children and you will know soon. It is when children are being exploited and being forced to do heavy work. They do not receive any education and all this should be heard with open ears. We know that children are being exploited simply by income they get. One of the main child labour site is India. I’d like to lift up India and raise awareness of what is actually happening there and to India’s next generation of children.
Do you know that of every 100 children in the world today,
