Child labour
India

Sometimes i feel really depressed when i see a child has to work for his livelihood. They have never tasted the experiences in school, interactions with friends all those sweet memories we cherish later on. The realities of life has taken away the essence of their childhood. they are like adults fighting in everyday life locked in a child's body.It is a social curse. Though many organisations are working for this cause but it's difficult to irradicate because of it's multidimension.

Sometime the local government do not make relagulations to prohibit child labor. Chidren as young as 15 work in factories. Little children beg on the street. Their health is suffering. The parents force their children to work. Maybe you want to built an organization that will take care of street children. Poor Families have more children, someday they will be more populated than the average or rich people. The gap between the rich and the poor is getting wider. Some rich and average families are moving to the poverty line because of recession in labor and business failures.

It is horrible to think of children being treated in this way, but sometimes I think we do stretch our childrens childhoods out too long. They do need to take some responsibility for themselves to become decent adults.
Child labour is particularly horrible though and I think the only solution is to stop buying products that are made by these companies.
