Child Labor in Eritrea and Violation of Children's Rights


Child Labor in Eritrea and Violation of Children's Rights
The Issue
Eritrea is a northeast African country and is ranked first under child labor index. It's heartbreaking to see children, as young as the age of six, around the world, especially in Eritrea, giving up their childhood to work around dangerous machinery, risking their health, education, and happiness. We need to let the Eritrean Government know that this kind of action is beyond unacceptable and cruel. They need to rethink their actions and start understanding that putting children to work not only increases life damage, but it also increases the number of flaws we have in this world. No child deserves to go through this kind of work at a very young age in Eritrea; it does nothing but harm to this world. What would you do if your children were put into this kind of situation? Would you put a stop to this?
