Globalization: Child Labour

When we talk about globalization we think that this word only means money, business, technology, but there is a bigger problem behind this. According to UNICEF, 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour, one in six children in the world. All children have the opportunity to go to school and to live in peaceful environment, but all these children do not have these opportunities. Instead of go to school these children work in mines, chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or work with dangerous machinery. Instead of being with their families they are forced to work. These children work in hazardous conditions. It is very sad to know that this is happening and we can not do anything. Even in our country we can see children working in the streets selling pencils or stickers and nobody does something. Not only the government has to work against child labour, but all of us have to do something. If we want a better future for our children we have to find solutions right know, and we can start in our communities.
