Stop Child Labor
Raising Awarness for children across the globe struggling with child labor.
Raising Awarness for children across the globe struggling with child labor.
Our campaign is to raise awareness of child labor around the globe. Estimated about 160 million children fall subject to child labor each year. Child labor cuts off children from health care and schooling , restricting fundamental rights to their lives and future. Not only does child care restrict people from their basic rights but it brings harmful environments that can even result in death. The topic of child labor raises questions such as, how does poverty drive child labor around the earth? Is child labor legal, if so what are the restrictions? And what are long term effects for children that fall subject to child labor and harsh conditions? These are questions we strive to answer. Our mission is to inform people of the everyday struggles that children endure, and the rights they are being deprived of. We need to keep these children out of working conditions and in schools!
