Day I am thankful for child rights.Child labour rights was established about one hundred years ago in America. The National Child Labor Committee organized a law to abolish child labor. This law allowed young workers to be protected under the law.
In India, the largest child labor force is I Bombay where nearly 30,000 children and working.
In China, nearly 5 million children are working in factories.
In Russia, 3.4 million children work are employed.
114 million are in Asia and the Pacific.
14 million live in Latin America.
65 million live in sub-Saharan Africa.
It is crazy to think that children under the age of sixteen are working in factories, mills, and as migrant workers. In addition, children are forced into prostitution. I am very thankful to live in a society where I am protected under the law and was given the chance to live as a kid who can just have fun.
Worldwide, there are nearly 250,000,000 children who are forced into working, that means there are 250,000,0000 kids who were never given the chance to just simply be a child.
22,000 children die each year while performing dangerous tasks during in the work field.
