Stop Child Labour
Serious work in social legislation begins always with the protection of children.
ICHR calls on world community to get firmly on track toward eliminating child labour worldwide. Children shouldn’t be working, they should be in school, and safe environment fallowing their dreams.
Children shouldn’t work in fields, but only on their dreams. Yet today, 152 million children are still in child labour.
Children work because their survival and that of their families depend on it, and in many cases because unscrupulous adults take advantage of their vulnerability. It is also due to inadequacies and weaknesses in national educational systems. It is deeply ingrained in cultural and social attitudes and traditions.
Poverty is certainly the greatest single force driving children into the workplace. Income from a child’s work is felt to be crucial for his/her own survival or for that of the household.
