Child labour
Child labour is a work force that harms children or stops them from attending school. Around the world millions and thousands of children are forced to work twentyfour seven against their will and against human rights and human dignity.
The international labour organization estimates that over 215 million children between the age of 5 and 17 are working under orders that are illegal. These children are working in dangerous conditions that are bad for their health and environment. They are used as slaves, beaten when slow in working, not fed with good nutrition and care, used in drug trafficking and sometimes to fight in conflict or war. They don’t go to school nor have time to play. They work 24/7 not much rest but all the time working for their employers like machines.
Smugglers are even trying to smuggle children into other countries for money to sell them to people for labour. They kidnapped children and sell them to factories as workers. They promised them of good wages and pay and they don’t get any pay, and sometimes paid the minimal amount of 10 cents a day. They don’t give them clothing and good food but work long hours and no rest.
It is even worse when 115 million children possibly have to do jobs that are hazardous without the supportive clothes or some children are not even wearing clothes. One of every five children get paid about $00.10 and that is very low. I think the children should get a valued amount because in Australia they get $16 million worth tobacco to smoke and burn. If we can spare this money for the children then they have enough money for their needs and education.
Child labour employers are very mean and they don’t really care about the children and some employers only give a little amount of food because they just want the children to work longer.
