Children are like delicate flowers.It is disheartening to witness the exploitation of innocent children who are forced to work instead of enjoying their days of laughter and enjoyment of childhood and receiving an education.
Child labour not only deprives children from their basic rights but also stops their physical, mental, and emotional growth and development.Children involved in labour are often subjected to risky working conditions, long hours, and meagry wages, which keep alive the cycle of poverty and inequality.
When I look around children doing the things which I being a 19 year old won’t do, literally breaks my heart that where as a nation we are going , people should stop keeping domestic child labour too like how you can order 7 year old little girl to wash your plates and at the other side enjoys your 7 year old daughter playing with the dolls?
It is important for us as a society to come together and take immediate action to eradicate child labour. This can be achieved through the implementation of stricter laws and regulations, increased access to quality education, and the promotion of social programs that support vulnerable families.
Furthermore, it is essential to raise awareness and educate the public about the harmful effects of child labour. By creating a society that values the well-being and future of every child.
