“Ending Exploitation: Uniting for World Against Child Labor Day”

June 12th is the World Day Against Child Labor. This day is an opportunity to raise awareness about the plight of child laborers around the world and to take action to end this exploitation.

Child labor is a serious problem that affects millions of children around the world. Children are forced to work in dangerous and unhealthy conditions, often for little or no pay. They are denied the opportunity to go to school and to play. Child labor is a violation of children’s rights and it has a devastating impact on their lives.

There are many things that can be done to end child labor. We can support organizations that are working to rescue children from child labor and to provide them with education and other forms of support. We can also urge our governments to take action to end child labor.

Here are some things you can do to help fight child labor:

• Donate to organizations that are working to end child labor.
• Educate yourself about child labor and share what you learn with others.
• Urge your government to take action to end child labor.
• Support businesses that are committed to fair labor practices.

By working together, we can end child labor and create a world where all children have the opportunity to live a good life.

Here are some additional facts about child labor:

• According to the International Labour Organization, there are an estimated 152 million children in child labor around the world.
• Children in child labor are often employed in agriculture, mining, manufacturing, and domestic service.
• Child labor is a major source of income for many poor families.

By taking action, we can help to end child labor and create a better future for all children.

Child labor refers to the exploitation of children, especially in developing countries, while depriving them of childhood and access to education because of their poor economic conditions. Child labor has existed throughout history in different forms. Recorded evidence of children involved in labor like adults has been present since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, in which children used to work twelve hours a shift daily.

To support the rapidly industrialized economy, western nations needed more and more labor and the best source available to them as children. In comparison to older days, when a single man of the house was enough to feed the family, the economic recession during the industrial revolution quite badly affected the ordinary man and his family. Children along with women had to come out to work in factories to make enough money which barely ensured their survival, and since then this exploitation of children as a source of the cheap labor force has prevailed.

Overall in the world, Africa has consistently stood at the number one position when it comes to child labor, one in every five children is involved in child labor. The second worst numbers come from the Asian-Pacific belt, where 7% of all the children are victims of child labor.

Child Labor has been among the most discussed topics in the U.N. and other international organizations and serious efforts have been to prevent child labor, but still, around 160 million children are involved in child labor and the world still needs more efforts to eradicate child labor from the roots.
