WE DONT GO TO WORK AT OUR YOUNG AGE ERE IN NYC, THANKS TO laws and child labor rules. but its not quite the same in napal. It’s heart breaking to hear of the lives of the childhood of many in Nepal. When we say “we must be treated as equals”, we didn’t mean the work with children and adults. The child labor in Napal is one of the sadest in all of india and has been a problem since 1880 and was once illegal. This was liberatly ignored. Now kids, starting at the age of 4, worked for 16 hours straight everyday with no breaks (4am-8pm). THERE ONCE WAS A GIRL NAMED MAYA LAMA.

    In Germany during the holocaust, the evil man was named Adolf Hitler. He forced his opinions on people, and made the opinions become “facts” to those who listened to him. He did this and then caused a massed genocide. In the genocide of Guatemala , the leader of the country wanted to stop a small rebellion, but he ended up doing more than that. He decided to take it to the extreme and kill 166,000 people, people who may have not been involved at all. The difference in their impact was,what happened afterward the genocides. In the holocaust, the society was broken and destroyed. The Jewish survivors were traumatized and looked upon on differently than what they were before. "A hellhole. People were lying all over the place".Eugene remained at Auschwitz Birkenau for around ten days before being selected for slave labour. He was sent by train to the Little Camp at Buchenwald and then on to Dora Mittelbau.” In the other genocide, there was a peace treaty created. The soldiers involved in the genocide that were sent to massacre the mayans were sentenced to 6,060 years in prison, so sentenced for life. Homes and communities were destroyed.”In June 2011, General Héctor Mario López Fuentes was caught and charged with genocide and crimes against humanity. In August 2011, four soldiers were sentenced to 30

    Even though usually these people from the sounds of it were usually just swept under a rug, or that the camp would clean its act up when the state or others came to check on it isn’t. From the way that the book put it sounds like no one really started to question the methods of the camp until they were brought to light by the civil rights movement. Even then it took someone who knew someone there or someone who spent time there, for them to even hear about it. When it did make the headlines in was used to break the “Restless Race-Mixers” who wanted to put an end to segregation laws. This came as a shock to me and to think that our country put basically innocent people in facility that had for decades had been used on criminal that had committed murdered, rape, and other crimes, not protesting. Then for them to be stripped of all their dignity a face punish that was meant to break them. While yes, this punish didn’t match that, that was used on the convicts and no hands per se were laid upon them; they still face a form of torture. This was wrong and to think that this didn’t make the government question these methods, is a flaw from our past that we have to deal

    In terms of laws prohibiting child labor, 180 countries have ratified the Worst Forms of Child Labor Convention, which prohibits all forms of child labor, including child trafficking, slavery, hazardous work, etc., yet child labor continues to happen in these countries. Other countries like India and Eritrea also need to be pressured and convinced to ratify this convention(ILO). This is not the only law prohibiting child labor, however. Globally, child labor before the age of 14 has basically been banned, but most countries do not enforce this rule or have exceptions to this

    The mental inhumanity was so bad that most prisoners thought of suicide and some even committed it. Along with this was the pain and torture the prisoners felt from the physical inhumanity which resulted in deaths of over 50% of the inmates who stayed there. The total effect of both of the camps is shown throughout the inhumanity brought about there. The fact that inhumanity was able to cause the deaths of just about 6,000,000 people shows how easy it is for it to hurt other humans.

    Apparently, both government and NGO try their best to solve the problem through their stimulating actions. It is true that a progress has been made as the statistics show. However, extra efforts should be done to improve the situation of child labourers and save them from their critical life conditions to make them live a decent life. Once efforts are reunified, we can talk then about eradicating child labor.

  • Child Labour: NOT Always Wrong

    1299 Words  | 3 Pages

    So I believe that the issue of child labour is not simple. As Unicef’s 1997 State of the World’s Children Report argued, children’s work needs to be seen as having two extremes. On one hand, there is the destructive or exploitative work and, on the other hand, there is beneficial work - promoting or enhancing children’s development without interfering with their schooling, recreation and rest. ‘And between these two poles are vast areas of work that need not negatively affect a child’s development.’ My firm belief is that there is a difference between child labour and child work and that in both cases the issue is whether or not the child is deliberately being exploited.

When we fail to see this issue as a human rights violation children around the world are subjected to hard labour which interferes with education, reinforces
