How Can Individuals Get Involved ?

Would you like being stuck doing harmful work all day everyday? I wouldn't that’s for sure! Many kids all over the world take part in some type of work, whether it’s helping out with chores around the house, or having an after-school job.. right? Those kind of work are fantastic because you earn money and build skills that will help you in your future. It’s no wheres close to child labour!  Child labour is work that’s harmful to a child’s mental and physical development. Did you know that every year, approximately 22 hundred children die from accidents that are associated with their work? It’s so sad because that doesn’t even say anything towards the emotional, and mental harm from being forced to work long, solid hours, or experiencing a work atmosphere that no child should. You, me, and the children in India all have the right to an education, as well as the right not to work! Unfortunately, numerous amount of kids fall into the cracks, and don’t have the ability to get out by themselves.We need to limit the amount of purchases from India, and start buying more fair trade. I’ve already mentioned this in my other posts, but where has the products you’re buying come from? Who made them? Will you benefit from the product more than once? All of these, should be thought about before you take the risk of putting one more child to work. In my opinion, a global effort to fight child labour is super important. It’s the hearts of the children who stand up and speak out not just for themselves, but for one another. A single child’s voice can be drowned out completely, especially when it has been weakened by brutal conditions, along with unstoppable adults. However,  just a small group of courageous children can make a huge difference. Please, don’t let your voices go unheard.  You have to speak up and speak out, stand beside kids around the world to fight for a fair chance for child labour kids to grow up healthily, happily, and with an education.
