Child Labor

 CHILD LABOUR

Child labor refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives them of their childhood, interferes with their ability to attend regular school, and that is mentally, physically, socially or morally dangerous and harmful.

This problem affects millions of children worldwide, mostly in developing countries. Children are often forced into labor due to poverty, lack of access to education, and cultural norms that see work as a rite of passage.


The consequences of child labor are severe and long-lasting. Children who work long hours in hazardous conditions are at risk of physical injury and health problems. They also miss out on their education and have limited opportunities for personal and professional growth in the future.

Governments and international organizations have taken steps to address the issue of child labor, including passing laws to regulate the minimum age for employment and setting standards for working conditions. However, much more needs to be done to eradicate this practice.




Individuals and organizations can also play a role in ending child labor. Consumers can make informed decisions about the products they buy and ensure that they are not supporting companies that use child labor. Companies can also adopt policies to prevent child labor in their supply chains.






In conclusion, child labor is a global issue that requires a collective effort to eliminate. By raising awareness, advocating for change, and supporting organizations working to end child labor, we can create a brighter future for all children.

  • Child labor harms a child’s social and mental development, reduces their ability to enjoy childhood, and limits educational opportunities. Without an education, children grow up without the skills they need to secure employment, making it more likely that they’ll send their own children to work someday. This cycle must end.

Women's Safety

Women’s safety is the recent buzzword around the globe which demands the protection of women from victimization. The question that arises here is: Why has the safety of women become a topic of concern in this modern civilized world? This presumes that there is something wrong with society’s treatment of women. The politics of snatching power from women, making them weak and destitute can be regarded as the ‘creator’ of insecurity for women. It has been the claim of feminists that woman has been subjugated and deprived of their rights for ages. Voices have been raised for the safety of women and to make them feel free to come out of the four walls of their home and go out to the world of competitions and be on a par with the male population. But before anyone dares to do it there occur incidences where women are marginalized, silenced, and their views and wishes are stifled. That is why French feminist, Simone de Beauvoir declared boldly in  The Second Sex,  “One is not born, b...
