"The way a society treats its children reflects not only its qualities of compassion and protective caring, but also its sense of justice, its commitment to the future and its urge to enhance the human condition for coming generations."

“Javier Perez de Cuellar, former Secretary General of the UN”

God has given human beings the bone of wisdom and discretion to think upon the signs of the universe and to draw conclusions. That is the reason why they disclose the hidden facts of it and its structure and have made remarkable progress in many walks of life.
“Children” are the flowers of heaven. They are the most beautiful and purest creation of God. They are innocent both inwardly and outwardly. No doubt, they are the beauty of this world. Early in the morning when the children put on different kinds of clothes and begin to go to school for the sake of knowledge, we feel a specific kind of joy through their innocence
But there are also other children, those who cannot go to schools due to Financial Problems, they only watch

    Child labor was once a prevalent issue in the United States – a combination of cruelty, coercion, and abuse characterizes its entirety. Fortunately, many organizations, such as the National American Woman Suffrage Association, made attempts at alleviating the issue in hopes of eliminating the institution. Surprisingly, it was mutually beneficial to the organizations and the child laborers in that in order to help child labor, women needed to work for their suffrage. Suffrage would allow for women to have more power, and, therefore, more say in issues such as that of child labor. Florence Kelley, a member of the organization, presented a speech before a convention that outlined child labor, presented to persuade many fellow activists to pursue change. Within her speech, using a combination of powerful pathos and vivid imagery, Kelley effectively detailed the issue of child labor and pushed for reform and ultimately the freedom of child laborers.…

    To begin with, one striking element of Ian Paul’s article is the powerful evidences being explored to encourage readers how child labour is being stopped. According to UNICEF, child labour is defined by age groups, the working hours they do, and the activities performed by the child. Both UNICEF and the International Center On Child labour And Education acknowledges that in Asia and Africa, child labourers are drastically increasing while the industrialized nations, which have lower amounts of child labourers remains. These statistics prove that children are forced to work to contribute to household incomes. For instance, in India, because of industrial development and poverty, children are economic contributors for their households by working in the agricultural sector or at home. The government has been actively passing laws to stop child labour since 1930s, despite the attempt; 11.2 million children contribute to child labour, with the number still increasing. Professor Sylvain Dessay and Stephane Pallage published a study, banning child labour, which is supported by over 150 countries. However this hinders the situation because it suggested that a decrease in economic funding would damage the developing countries’ incomes.…

    Children as young as six years old worked long hours in poor environments, this is child labor. The work harms children or keeps them from attending school. All around the world and including U. S., grew gaps between rich and poor in recent decades having to force millions of young children to be out of school and into work. The International Labor Organization estimates that 215 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 currently work under conditions that are considered illegal, hazardous, or extremely exploitative. Underage children work all sorts of jobs, usually because the children and their families are extremely poor. Large numbers of children work in commercial agriculture, fishing, manufacturing, mining, and domestic service. Some children work in illicit activities like the drug trade and prostitution or other traumatic activities such as serving as soldiers. Forms of child labor, including indentured servitude and child slavery, have existed throughout history. As industrialization moved workers from farms and home workshops into urban areas and factory work, children were often preferred, because factory owners viewed them as more manageable, cheaper, and less likely to strike. Growing opposition to child labor in the North caused many factories to move to the South. By then, American children worked in large numbers in mines, glass factories, textiles, agriculture, canneries, home industries, and as newsboys, messengers, bootblacks, and peddlers.…

    As a child, we are innocent of everything, we don’t care if we get tired of just playing around for the whole day, we don’t care if our clothes get dirty, we don’t care if there is a dirt on our face, but we do get scared when our mother and father get mad on us for the mistakes that we do. But in spite of these as a child; we still give the beautiful smile without keeping any grudges deep in our heart. As a child, we are pure and innocent and there is a glow of faith to God in our child heart.…
