1. Brief Description :Stop Child labor and Child Marriage
Organized and conducted a rally with Child labor continues to exist throughout the world.
Children work because their survival and that of their families depend on it, and in some
cases, because unscrupulous adults take advantage of their vulnerability.
The problem is further compounded by the fact that child labour remains hidden from public
view, making the problem seem less of a priority.
Many child slaves denied an education, freedom of movement, and freedom of information.
They are confined, beaten, and terrorized and are forced to work in dangerous conditions
that often result in life-long injuries
Because poverty is so widespread, children are seen as disposable and are often fed just
enough to be kept alive.
