Together we can STOP Child Labour! 🛑✋
Child labour is a violation of human rights and can have detrimental effects on the physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or social development of children.
It often involves long hours, dangerous working conditions, and little or no pay. Children who are forced to work like slaves and often denied the opportunity to attend school and receive an education, which can lead to a lifetime of poverty and hardship. 🏫
Child labour can also perpetuate the cycle of poverty and social inequality. Therefore, it is important to stop child labour to protect children and promote their well-being.
Note: All work done by children under the age of 15 and dangerous work done by children under the age of 18 is illegal.
Child labour exists because:
⇾ People accept it and often invent excuses for it.
⇾ Children’s rights are not accepted.
Governments fail to provide compulsory, free, and accessible education.
⇾ International agreements and conventions are ignored.
⇾ The education system fails to include poor and vulnerable children.
⇾ Companies worldwide demand cheap labour.
⇾ Countries can benefit from cheap labour.
⇾ Children are a soft target for a helping hand.
⇾ We have not done enough to stop it.
Let’s take an oath, Child-Labour is a crime and we won’t support: https://bit.ly/3H87PiZ
