Anti-slavery

                                             Why do children work ?...
 Most children work because their families are poor and their labour is needed for their survival. Employers often exploit children because they are more vulnerable, cheaper to hire than adults and they are less likely to demand higher wages or better working conditions. Some employers falsely argue that children are particularly suited to certain types of work because of their small size and "nimble fingers"
    For many parents, sending their children to school is not an option. Education is expensive and sometimes the nearest school is too far away. Some parents feel that what their children will  learn is irrelevant to the realities of their everyday lives and futures.
