About Child Labour

Considerable differences exist between the many kids of work children do.Some are difficult and demanding, others are more hazardous and even normally reprehensible..Children carry out a very wild range of tasks and activities when they work.

What sorts of jobs do child labourers do ?

A child worker may tie knots for carpets, inhaling woolen dust while sitting hunched over in the dark. Another child could work handling molten glass in a factory, or assembling matches and fireworks. Children can be found in mines, polishing gems, or climbing across a garbage dump searching out things to sell. For a poor nation waging out things to sell. For a poor nation waging a war it seems logical to enlist children. So the children go to fight, sometimes not understanding the dispute and to small to keep up or carry their weapons. Agriculture also employs many children, using dangerous tools such cane.Aamong the more damaging forms of employment for a child, in particular for girls, would be domestic work. They can go without the support of their families and peers, without education and without time for rest.
               Because  these girls work out of sight within private households they are extremely vulnerable to physical, mental  and sexual abuse. The sex trade presents another instance of severe risk specifically for girls. Real  and constant danger stems from customers, pimps , pregnancy , and sexually transmitted diseases.
