RE: ⚠️ Awareness: child labour/sexual exploitation emergency contacts
Terrible stories and in the past, many years ago, also common in Germany, especially in rural areas. A lot has changed since then. Children go to school regularly and the composition of families has also changed. Today, children may go to work for a few weeks during their holidays to get used to duties and the need to earn money. That is a positive thing. Exploitation is the exact opposite and - in many parts of the world - not uncommon. You are right: education is an important key in the fight against such practices.
One more thing - please check the figures again:
According to the international labour organization (ILO), it has been estimated that roughly 152 billion children are engaged in child labour globally,...
Few years ago, cases like this were the top news in Nigeria from real activist with human conscience, while those bad eggs journalist keep hiding it just to protect the interests of their bad ass politicians.
However, to cover the shame, they introduced free education for children from primary school down till secondary or what others known as high school.
This was to lessen the amount of child labour and exploitation. Infact, as time goes on they started cooking in some of these schools to feed these children.
Unfortunately, it looks like it is back again. A lot of children(underage) are now facing abuse..., exploitation and some hard labour just to survive..., I am not talking from the news, but from what I see.
Thank you, it was a typo, now corrected.
And that is still an incredibly large number. People. Children. Victims in need of protection...
