SEC S17W2: "Protecting children"

Hey RECREATIVE STEEM,

Ismail Shah here. Today, I am going to talk about a very important topic: Protecting children. Protecting children means protecting your country's entire future. Children learn from the environment in which they have grown.

Explain in your own words, what does Child Slavery mean and what are its most common manifestations?

Forcing children to work and brainwashing them is a very dangerous practice that has become all too common in undeveloped countries.

Not only does it damage their mental health, but it also destroys their future to.

Child Trafficking:

Children are trafficked very cleverly, either across borders or within countries, to exploit them for labor, sexual exploitation, or other purposes. While traffickers may save money by doing this, earning profits by destroying other's futures is very serious crime. Child trafficking is banned in all countries.

The punishment for these offenses should be very severe.

Forced Labor:

Children's are either doing work and forced by their parents or are forced by any one else to do work. They can be found working in various industries in undeveloped countries, including mining, agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and local shops.

These children often work for many hours, which can make them feel like slaves, also damaging their mental and physical health.

Child Soldiers:

Children are sometimes forced to work for illegal groups, serving as soldiers, or forced to work for gangs as messengers or in other support roles. They are often forced to commit crimes.

Some of them are used for begging on the streets. You often see many children on the streets begging, but they might be forced into that situation.

Commercial Sexual Exploitation:

Commercial sexual exploitation is unfortunately is most common thing nowadays, mainly girls are use for pornography, or other forms of sexual things, we might be shocked but that's the reality

How does forced labor impact the lives of children?

Forcing children to do anything can have very dangerous results, potentially leading to mental illness or distress.

When a child is forced to do work than they can experience depression because they're unable to handle such responsibilities. That's why they're called children; they're not equipped to bear such burdens.

What strategies do you consider effective to eradicate forced child labor?

Eradicating forced child labor can be removed from our society, just by taking few steps:

Economic Support:

If the government establishes sectors, creates companies, and invites investors to our country, families can have jobs, and no one will need to allow their children to engage in labor.

Education:

"Education should be provided to children as it is their right. Not providing education to your children's a serious is a crime!

Education is key to eradicating child labor worldwide.

Community Engagement:

There should be a community that engages with society and parents, raising awareness that forcing children to work is a crime and the impact it can have on their future and mental health. Awareness is the biggest key.

Do you think it is essential that children have the freedom to fully develop and fulfill their dreams? Explain your answer

Yes, I do think it's essential that children should have the freedom to fulfill their dreams. I have seen many parents who are forcing their children to become a doctor, engineer, or something they want to see them. That's a crime. Let them choose what they want to be. If they want to be a doctor, then let them become a doctor, if a engineer then let them become a engineer.

By allowing them to follow their dreams can be a beautiful thing to do, because they can go to their potential and discover their unique talents. Allowing children to chase their passions can make them happy, and not only that, it can also make our society better
