Mother Jones marches against Child Labor

On this day in 1903 Mary Harris, more commonly known as “Mother Jones”, organized a children’s march in Philadelphia to focus public attention and demand action to stop textile mill owners from employing children to work long hours with dangerous machinery that had mutilated so many.

Three weeks later she led another march to New York City to encourage President Theodore Roosevelt to improve conditions for the child laborers. The National Child Labor Committee was formed the next year.

Happy World Chocolate Day?

Well, not if you're one of the >1.6 million kids slaving away in West Africa (or Brazil or Latin America) for up to 14 hours/day, sometimes literally as slaves, under dangerous conditions, to produce the majority of the chocolate sold by the major candy companies, including Mars Wrigley, Ferrero, Mondelez International, Meiji Co. Ltd., Nestle and Hershey Co.

In 2021, SCOTUS ruled 8-1 that Big Chocolate had no responsibility to ensure that their products were not produced by child laborers.

I honestly can’t hate on the Girl Scouts. They made child labor legal. Brilliant tbh. I remember a couple years ago I read the Girl Scouts were under scrutiny for not using “ethically made ingredients.” 

Like bro their ENTIRE SALES TEAM IS CHILDREN.

Together we can STOP Child Labour! 🛑✋

Child labour is a violation of human rights and can have detrimental effects on the physical, mental, spiritual, moral, or social development of children.

It often involves long hours, dangerous working conditions, and little or no pay. Children who are forced to work like slaves and often denied the opportunity to attend school and receive an education, which can lead to a lifetime of poverty and hardship. 🏫

Child labour can also perpetuate the cycle of poverty and social inequality. Therefore, it is important to stop child labour to protect children and promote their well-being.

Note: All work done by children under the age of 15 and dangerous work done by children under the age of 18 is illegal.

Child labour exists because: ⇾ People accept it and often invent excuses for it. ⇾ Children’s rights are not accepted. Governments fail to provide compulsory, free, and accessible education. ⇾ International agreements and conventions are ignored. ⇾ The education system fails to include poor and vulnerable children. ⇾ Companies worldwide demand cheap labour. ⇾ Countries can benefit from cheap labour. ⇾ Children are a soft target for a helping hand. ⇾ We have not done enough to stop it.

Let’s take an oath, Child-Labour is a crime and we won’t support: https://bit.ly/3H87PiZ

Understanding Child Labor

Child labor is defined as work that deprives children of their youth, potential, and dignity while also impairing their physical and mental development. According to the International employment Organization (ILO), around 168 million children were employed in child employment worldwide in 2014, with the majority working in dangerous conditions. This alarming figure highlights the crucial need for a coordinated worldwide response.

Important Projects and Worldwide Reactions

World Day Against Child Labor: Held on June 12, this annual event aims to raise awareness about the plight of child laborer's. The 2014 theme was “Extend social protection: Combat child labor,” which stressed the role of social protection systems in preventing child labor.

International Labor Organization (ILO) Campaigns: The ILO has continued its efforts with the “Roadmap for Achieving the Elimination of the Worst Forms of Child Labor by 2016.” This campaign emphasizes on the most severe forms of child employment, asking governments to intervene and implement child-protection measures.

National Legislation: Many countries have strengthened their laws prohibiting child labor. For example, India passed the Child employment (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Act, which aimed to criminalize child employment in hazardous occupations while regulating working conditions in non-hazardous jobs.

Corporate Responsibility: Businesses began to recognize their role in eradicating child labor. Many businesses developed efforts to prevent child labor in their supply chains, such as monitoring systems and fair trade norms.

The Role of Education

Education has emerged as a critical component in the fight against child labor. In 2014, various NGOs underlined the need of accessible and high-quality education in ending the cycle of poverty, which commonly leads to child labor. Scholarships, Free Food, and school supplies were distributed through initiatives aimed to encourage families to send their children to school instead of working.

Difficulties and Barriers

Despite the progress made in 2014, significant challenges remained. Poverty, a lack of educational options, and cultural norms all led to the prevalence of child work. In many communities where families relied on the income generated by their children, it was difficult to prioritize education over employment.

Conclusion

The fight against child work in 2014 marked a watershed point in global efforts to protect children’s rights. Despite significant progress made through legislation, awareness campaigns, and educational initiatives, the struggle against child labour persists. Governments, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and the private sector must continue to collaborate to ensure that every child has the opportunity to develop, learn, and thrive without being burdened by labor. The commitment to ending child work remains a moral imperative and a necessary step towards a more just world.

The Child Labor Act, 1986, prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in hazardous occupations. The Act aims to regulate child labor in non-hazardous occupations and ensures that children’s education is not compromised.
