Child labor is a pressing issue affecting millions of children worldwide, depriving them of their right to education, health, and a carefree childhood. Many children are forced to work in hazardous conditions for long hours, often in agriculture, factories, or as domestic help. Poverty, lack of access to education, and societal norms are major drivers of child labour. This exploitation not only hinders their physical and mental development but also traps them in a cycle of poverty.
To prevent child labour, strict enforcement of laws banning child labour is essential. Providing free and quality education can offer children a brighter future, reducing the need for them to work. Empowering families through social welfare programs, improving economic conditions, and raising awareness about the importance of childhood education are other crucial steps. Collaborating with communities, NGOs, and governments can create a safer environment where children can thrive.
