EQUAL OPPORTUNITIES AROUND THE WORLD?

We are always protesting against many things, most of the times without any reason. When we do that we become very foolish people because there are a lot of people that haven’t got our opportunities, for example to study. In general, most of the people who live in the third world don’t have education. They usually work to bring food or money to their home. This is called child labour and it’s work done by child. The main problem is that it prevents child’s education and interrupts their development. It’s dangerous work for the well being of the children because they have to work in bad conditions, and sometimes they are like slaves. This is considered a human rights violation, but some countries tolerate it.

Child labour can have serious consequences like chronic diseases, wounds or chemical infections. The children who work in these conditions are between five and fourteen years old, and as everybody knows the legal age to start working is sixteen. There are different types of this kind of work like Soldier children, these ones have to work as cooks for the army and also participate in wars. There are also “sweat factories” where children work many hours with sewing machines to make clothes for the fashion industry. In my opinion, the government should do something to help all children that are forced to do this kind of work and make it safe. Moreover, they have to solve the sanity problems or stop the dangerous child labour.
