Protecting children |

In your own words, what does Child Slavery mean and what are its most common manifestations?
Humans' need to satisfy their selfish demands has taken such a negative turn that even Children are not immune. Children are forced to work, used for prostitution or sold. Child trafficking is one of the most serious issues that no region of the world is immune to. Child trafficking is a global concern. Such trafficked children are turned into child laborers and sex workers especially girls are used for sex work and domestic work while male children are used for social crimes like trafficking, drug dealing, stealing, begging.
Whereas children are greatly affected by family problems at home and they are either sold as slaves to others or the children themselves leave the home and join as slaves somewhere. For example, if a father or mother dies or the head of the family leaves his wife and marries another woman, then the new woman enslaves the child, or the child cannot bear their torture and leaves the house and joins as a slave somewhere else for food and money.
How does forced labor impact the lives of children?
Child labor refers to the crime of forcing children to work from an early age. It's like expecting children to take on responsibilities like working and fending for themselves. The average age at which a child is fit to work is considered to be fifteen and above. Children below this age limit are not allowed to engage in forced labor of any kind. Because child labour denies children the opportunity to have a normal childhood, receive a suitable education, and maintain their bodily and mental health. It is prohibited in some nations, but it has not been totally eradicated.
Child labor occurs for many reasons. First, it occurs in countries where poverty and unemployment are high. When families do not have enough income, they put the children of the family to work so that they have enough money to survive. Likewise, if the elders in the family are unemployed, the younger ones have to work instead.
What strategies do you consider effective to eradicate forced child labor?
Parents should be kept in the loop to teach them the importance of education. Free education and awareness among the people can help educate more children who are not child labourers. Also, it is necessary to create awareness among the people about the evils caused by child labour.
In addition, family planning should be done in favor of children. This reduces the load on the family, the parents will be able to work for themselves rather than the children. In fact, the government must provide a minimum income for each family to survive on.
In summary, the government and the people should work together. People should be given a plenty of job options so that they can earn a living without having to send their children to work. Children are the future of our country; They should not be forced to preserve their families' economic level instead of having a normal childhood.
Do you think it is fundamental for children to have the freedom to fully develop and fulfill their dreams? Explain your answer.
Yes, fundamental for children to have the freedom to fully develop and fulfill their dreams. Government has an important role to play in eradicating child labour. As poverty is a major cause of child labor in many countries, the government must ensure that basic amenities are provided to the lower strata of our society. There should be equal distribution of wealth. More employment opportunities should be created to provide fair employment to the poor.
Various NGOs around the world should come forward and provide vocational training to these people or make them work or self-employed.
Workshops should be held to educate children about the psychological and physical consequences of child labour. Government appeals might encourage younger children to attend school by providing nutritious meals and other incentives.
These lowest strata of our society must understand and believe in the value of education. The government and non-governmental organisations (NGOs) should reach out to such people to raise awareness and begin providing free education to all children aged 6 to 14. Parents should encourage their children to attend school rather than employment.
Educated and wealthy persons can step forward and contribute to the advancement of this class society. They should raise awareness about the dangers of child labour. Schools and universities can create creative teaching programmes for low-income students. Offices, corporate, and public organisations should provide free education to their employees' children.
Conclusion
Children are our society's wealth; they are not born to work and being slave; instead, they receive a proper education and discipline, allowing them to become great achievers and role models for other children. A country with so many impoverished children cannot progress. It should be the responsibility of both society and the government to create a healthy and comfortable environment for these disadvantaged children, allowing them to develop their intrinsic skills and abilities properly.
So everyone should take a pledge to eradicate child slavery completely and provide them with sports and education food comfortable life at that age.

This slavery is not something of the past, alot of children all over the world today are passing through one slavery or the other. I think there should be a strict regulation on how to protect these children.
Yes, you are right only strict rules and punishment can restrict the crimes, thank you for reading and passing your opinion
Hello dear @jyoti-thelight It's a big problem globally with children forced into labor, prostitution, or other harmful situations. We need to focus on education, awareness, and government action to stop this and give children the chance to be kids and pursue their dreams.,wish you success 💖🤗🌸💐🌺💞.

You are right about different abuse manifestations on children which could be in the form of children trafficking as well as you are also right about domestic abuse that is increasing day by day because we people are taking it night and we are thinking that situations in our homes are not affecting the children and this is not at all abuse but there is a need to address issue as well as not only this you have also explain some of the strategies to eradicate this thing which I really like.
I wish much success to you
Yes the crimes related to children are increasing day by day and people and the government should take action to solve them
Thanks for responding back and for showing your agreement with my statements
Has dicho algo muy cierto en tu publicación una de las formas más comunes e esclavitud infantil es cuando los niños no tienen hogares y andan deambulando por las calles y allí se aprovechan para volverlos esclavos ya sea para el trabajo forzado o para el trabajo sexual, pero también nombraste que cuando se forma una nueva familia y hay un niño que no es de esa unión usan al niño como esclavo domestico y lo maltratan mucho
Los niños son el futuro del país y merecen ser tratados como son como niños dejarlos estudiar y recrearse porque de allí vendrá el futuro de un país
Yes, when the the absecence of any parent the new family form , the children cannot be able to mingle at same way they treated as slave. Thank you for sharing your valuabe opinion

Thank you very much for the support
Our children are the heritage and future of tomorrow and so we must actually make total cater for them most especially because for the future. There are a whole lot of innocent children that are in suffering which should not actually be suffering. Poor them, they actually deserve much more better I strongly believe and sometimes it is the fault of the parents and also sometimes it actually looks like the reason is beyond the parents.
One of the things that I strongly believe is affecting our nation is actually the fact that the government are not paying attention to what they should pay attention to and they end up paying attention to what they should not pay attention to. Instead of the whole lot of money they are actually eating up due to corruption, they can actually divert it to the world of children to secured their future.
All what you have mentioned that can be done for children are really true. In fact sometimes when growing up, I really wished I have some privilege that I should have right now but due to bad government who do not care about the future of children, I wasn't able to. This is very bad. Thank you once again for sharing this quality information with us and I was really able to learn quite a lot I must confess.
I agree with what you are saying. When we have no power we cannot prevent such crimes. At the same time, those in power should think about it and take appropriate measures.
Muy acertadas tus palabras querida Jyoti-thelight.
Los niños a nivel mundial, están experimentando ese tipo de problema. El lugar donde son más vulnerables son sus propios hogares.
La familia es el núcleo de la sociedad y si ese núcleo está enfermo todo lo que gira a su alrededor también.
Es un gusto leer tu opinión.
Bendiciones para ti y tu familia
Exitos
Abolutely Yes, Children worldwide are experiencing this type of problems. The place where they are most vulnerable is their own homes. Thank you for reading.
