By: Meghan C. and Sydney O.

What’s going on?

Child labor is causing many children as young as three years old, to work to support their families.

Did You Know?

That young women ages 15-22 years old go into prostitution to support their

families?

When children work ILLEGALLY.

There are no fewer than 9,000 to 12,800 boys working illegally under 14 years old. Some of their parents are dead and they are only trying to keep them and their younger siblings alive.

FINALLY IN 1833 THE LAW CHANGED. KIDS 11-18 YEARS OLD WERE ALLOWED TO WORK A MAXIMUM OF 12 HOURS PER DAY. WHILE YOU WERE COMPLAINING ABOUT CHORES, THERE ARE KIDS OUR AGE FIGHTING TO STAY ALIVE.

Then the law changed…

There are 215 million child LABORERS around the world.

114 million are in Asia and the Pacific

(53%)14 million are in Latin

America (7%)

65 million live in Sub-Saharan Africa (30%)

While some children are living happily, others are living through child labor. If you buy certain chain products like “Nike” or “Hershey” it could increase child labor.

THISTO…

THIS!

Some children work 80 hours a week only to get 40-70 U.S. cents per day.

IN COAL MINES, OFTEN TIMES ONLY

THE WHITES OF EYES AND RED LIPS ARE

VISIBLE OF A CHILDS BODY. THEY LICK

THEIR LIPS TO KEEP THEM MOIST AND BY

DOING THAT IT CAN CAUSE BLACK LUNG

DISEASE.

Did You Know?

IF THEY DON’T WORK, THEY DON’T EAT.

There are 7 million children that work 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on one decent meal a day.

If the children don’t work or they goof off, they get abused or even killed.

If you look at the graph, 8 million kids work in the unconditionally worst forms of child labor. They need help.

ALL OF THESE AREAS STILL HAVE CHILD LABOR. THIS IS A CHART OF ONLY FEMALES. IF WE WORK TOGETHER, WE CAN STOP IT FOREVER!

BUT ENOUGH BAD NEWS….

In 1992, a new foundation law was passed, and 50,000 kids were fired. The kids would have to stop working for a living!

YES!!!

When the children got fired, it took away their income, taking their

chance of survival. The people that boycotted, only hurt the children

worse.

THE SAD PART IS…

HERE’S SOME GOOD NEWS!

If we team up to stop child labor, we could do it! The government is already trying, but they need our help!

To help save children from child labor you can

• Have food drives

• Donate your money

• Donate your time

• Donate food

YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERNCE IN THE LIFE OF A CHILD!

LETS STOP CHILD LABOR, TOGETHER!!!

Thank you for watching
