October 3rd is children's day. At the united nations in new york city, chilfren from many counties will meet to celebrate this special occasion .On that day , 75to150million children between the ages of eight to fifteen will get up to do adults jobs; to the determinant of
their health and education.
Most ; but not all of these children live in third world countries . Some of these children find themselves responsible to help their parents with their agricultural work : some work as servants in the home of rich people ; others are employed in factories where they are often exposed to dangerous machinery and chemicals . statistics showw that many of these children work more than 12 hours a day
Factory directors like to employ children because they can pay themless than adults ; and very few children know enough about their legal rights to ask for better pay and working conditions .The parents of working children rarely protests , they need the child's salary to survive .The problem of child labour is much more serious in the third world ; but it also exists in Europe and the united states ; where many children have part time jobs to help their families or just to have some pocket money . paradoxically ; in countries where adults don't have jobs ; a lot of children work.
[LEFTIS there a solution to the international crime against today's children and future generation ? It is clear that the exploitation of children from very poor families is easy and that
it will continue . And because these children are more vulnerable and often less capable of defending themselves , they need special legal protection and assistance from international organizations .
