1 CHILD LABOR

2 70 million children get no education

3 Millions of children work in unacceptable conditions that are dangerous, hazardous and simply tragic. Millions of girls working as house servants are exploited and abused. Child laborers in developing countries often don’t get paid for their work. Those who are paid make much less than adult workers and are hardly able to contribute financially to their families. Education is impossible. Ending illegal child labor would help the global economy, as creating proper health care and education conditions, in the end, are of greater benefit. It would cost around $760 billion to end child labor over a period of 20 years, while the estimated benefit of better child education and health is more than six times that.

6 Around 215 million children world- wide are engaged in child labour
Around 215 million children world- wide are engaged in child labour. Much of this work is harmful, hazardous or even dangerous to their health and to their future life development. Children everywhere should be able to have a real childhood, to play, to learn at school and to dream of a brighter future. However,In Lebanon eradicating child labor is a difficult and complex task because many families send their children to work on the streets selling gum or roses, not because they want to but because they have to. They may not have enough household income or enough money to pay health bills or school fees, without the child working. H E L P F R E E O U R C H I L D R E N

7 Protecting children from having to work
Every child in the world must have the right to be educated. Without education humans would go nowhere and know absolutely nothing. We all have to go to school. Why? Because we need as much education as we can get.. Usually around the world teenagers work in order to gain a little extra pocket money, but this barely ever happens in Arab countries, Lebanon included. Unlike child labor, this is optional. It is completely unfair when parents bring children into this world that they aren't able to support. In Lebanon there is an extremely high number of refugees that have no jobs and many children and these children are running on the streets, in between cars selling tissue boxes and roses and chewing gum which usually ends up killing them! If not from being ran over its because of the dangers on the streets if not the streets, their parents if they were not able to make enough money . Not so long ago a man ran a 6 year old girl over who was selling chewing gum in order to make only around 10$ for her parents. This is unacceptable. The innocent little soul wouldn't’t have left us if she was in school learning instead. Protecting children from having to work

8 What would the world be like if kids could choose for themselves the right to go to school or the right to work?       F I N A L L Y…. It would be CRAZYYYY! No child in the world knows what's best for him/her without the guidance of the parents. Sure now, some parents have absolutely no idea of what they're doing but some others defiantly are and this leads to independent and wise children. If kids had an option it SHOULD be the option to work but when it comes to education nobody is to argue since knowledge is brain food and every child has the right to be healthy.
