Story Board of Child Labor


Child Labor Script

Child Labor
Introduction: -
child labor, use of the young as workers in factories, farms, and mines. Child labor was first recognized as a social problem with the introduction of the factory system in late 18th-century Great Britain. Children had formerly been apprenticed or had worked in the family, but in the factory their employment soon constituted virtual slavery, especially among British orphans.

Definition of child labor: -
refers to work done by children and which is harmful to them, such as work that is dangerous, illegal, or prevents the child from attending school.

Early History
of Child labor occurs when children get paid to do work. Although they have always had to work in some way, child labor started to become a major problem when children started to work in factories and mines in England during the Industrial Revolution of the 18th century. Factory owners forced them to work long hours and they got very little money for their work. Working conditions were very unhealthy. Factories were dirty and the air was bad. In mines children had to crawl through tunnels that were not wide enough for adults. Most children worked to help their families survive .During the 19th century the situation of children started to improve. Most of them were able to go to school and lead a better life. A child with a factory job might work 12 to 18 hours a day, six days a week, to earn a dollar.

Nowadays Child labor: -
Although many countries have laws that forbid child labor under a certain age, there are millions of children all over the world who are forced to work, especially in Asia, Africa and Latin America. Common for children is factory work, working on farms or even prostitution. Some work as tourists guides; others sell things on the streets or are beggars. According to the United Nations there are about 200 million child workers all over the world. Among them are about a hundred million who work in dangerous jobs. Over 22,000 children die in accidents at work every year.

There can be no keener revelation of a society soul than the way in which it treats its children (Nelson Mandela)

Examples of child labor
1-Forced Labor in the Mines:  - Mining is exhausted work and considered one of the most dangerous professions in the world. Long hours, hard physical labor, and often-cramped conditions can contribute to human errors in an already dangerous environment. If it is dangerous for well-trained adults in regulated mines, imagine how dangerous it is for the estimated one million children in Africa, Latin America, Europe, and Asia that work in unregulated mines.

2- Chocolate Slavery on The Ivory Coast: - Most children light up when given a chocolate treat, but there are children who are slaves to the chocolate industry. They are so controlled and abused that many do not even know what chocolate is or what it tastes like. In places like Ghana and the Ivory Coast, where 60 percent of the world’s cocoa is produced, illegal child labor is carried out on a daily basis. Some children have parents who are cocoa farmers, but others are trafficked and forced into a life tending the fields.

3- Soldiering: - Seventeen different countries have children involved in armed conflict. Fighting, spying, mine sweeping, cooking, and servitude are only a few of the tasks that children perform during violent conflicts. In some cases schools are used as military grounds for confrontation or negotiation. Congo, Colombia, and Sri Lanka are just a few of the countries with reported violations of the international laws that regulate this issue.

Example from UAE: -
Camel Jockeys before they used children to ride camels in camel racing after that many of them get injury or died they start to use a robot jockeys rather than taking risk on children health.

Advantages and disadvantages: - 
Child laborers can bring money to the family as well as the child gets to learn a trade that can be of use later in their life. The bad thing is that they are not educated so once they become crippled from working in fields they have nowhere to go or doing any job.

Solutions: -
 1) Our first solution is to create more unions to protect and prevent against child labor. With more unions, more people will be encouraged to help against child labor and they will be aware of what is really happening inside the work force.

2) Our second solution to stop and prevent child labor is to give education to these children. By doing this, we can better the chances that these children will succeed in life and they will be occupied with going to school and not being forced to work.

3) Our third solution is to change how the public views this problem. If we can change how the people see what child labor does to the children, more people will be determined to stop it and want to help.

4) Our final solution is to create a minimum family income. Many families need child labor or they wind up putting their kids out on the streets or selling them in order to survive. If we can help these families come out of poverty and get a steady money income, more and more children won't have to work in these types of conditions.

Exercise #5 PSA

Exercise#5 Violence at school



I will talk about violence at school. This is very sensitive situation for the child in their life. There are many types of violence first, emotional child abuse such as, ignoring or rejecting to respond to the child as a punishment and making negative comparisons with other children. Secondly, child neglect like failing to provide child’s basic needs. Third, physical child abuse for example, some teachers confused between how to discipline the child and child violence. Also, child could get physical harm and injury from the violence. There are many actions has been taken to prevent kids from violence at school. First of all, the school should make communication between the teacher and parents because the teacher cannot stop the violence alone. After that, teachers try to deal with children to be as a friend and teach them their children rights as well. Also, they can give advice to children to be aware about violence. Finally, that’s will benefit to the children to be in safety zone. The young people and adults have the right to live, work and learn without physical, psychological or child neglect according to International Bill of Human Rights.
