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. ๐ซ
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:
โพ People accept it and often invent excuses for it.
โพ Childrenโs rights are not accepted.
Governments fail to provide compulsory, free, and accessible education.
โพ International agreements and conventions are ignored.
โพ The education system fails to include poor and vulnerable children.
โพ Companies worldwide demand cheap labour.
โพ Countries can benefit from cheap labour.
โพ Children are a soft target for a helping hand.
โพ We have not done enough to stop it.
Letโs take an oath, Child-Labour is a crime and we wonโt support: https://bit.ly/3H87PiZ
WHAT THE CAMPAIGN PROMOTES AND PIN POINTS TO CERTAIN CRITERIA -
We Protect vulnerable people from trafficking and exploitation. Human trafficking is an organised criminal activity that deceives and coerces people into modern slavery.
The vast majority of victims trafficked into sexual exploitation are vulnerable women and girls, robbed of their freedom and dignity.
In the Asia-Pacific, workers also face the horrors of forced labour, child labour and exploitation, particularly in the garment industry.
Tearfund has a deep compassion for the oppressed and a yearning for justice. We believe the exploitation of poor and vulnerable people is a gross injustice that must be confronted.
Human trafficking is a massive violation of human rights, as the perpetrators are holding a human being in captivity and forcing them to work against their will. Everybody should do what they can to eradicate this issue from modern society.
Through our partners on the ground, we:
Help to protect people vulnerable from trafficking and worker exploitation by running empowerment and education programmes.
Assist authorities to investigate criminal networks behind trafficking and slavery.
Work with local law enforcement to prosecute traffickers, preventing more people from becoming enslaved.
Give survivors a safe place to heal, recover and restore their dignity through rehabilitation and supported reintegration.
Effective public awareness and outreach efforts can lead to the detection of human trafficking cases, build public support for governments and communities to act, and ultimately help prevent human trafficking.
How can we be more aware of human trafficking? Use your social media platforms to raise awareness about human trafficking, using the following hashtags: #endtrafficking, #freedomfirst. Think about whether your workplace is trauma-informed and reach out to management or the Human Resources team to urge implementation of trauma-informed business practices.
Freedom cannot be โhadโ โฆ to โhaveโ there must be someone to possess and that someone is the false self, who is NOT real and must โdissolve for Freedom to be โknownโ. What can be โhadโ can be taken away and Freedom is ever-Present - IT is Who YOU โareโ [the ONE SELF]. Freedom is the โAwarenessโ of the SELF YOU are โbyโ the SELF.
It is common for the false self, when it begins to acquire a little spiritual โknowledgeโ [not the same as Awareness, which it is incapable of] to begin โteachingโ and pontificating to others [there โareโ no othersโ]. This is the meaning of โthe blind leading the blindโ, which has been epidemic since the original โfall of consciousnessโ, and keeps the dog of โignoranceโ chasing its tail endlessly. The Free do not โpreachโ โฆ they โpointโ to who you are NOT so that the Real YOU can be revealed by the desolation of illusions. More than anything the Free are simply an โexampleโ of Truth. One can โfeelโ Peace, Joy and Love in their Presence without explanations.

Some things are โNot for Saleโ, taking away someone for slavery/prostitution means taking away their dreams. Itโs high time to protect yourself against human trafficking online. ๐โ๏ธ
Traffickers have adapted to online platforms including social media, marketing sites, and matrimonial/dating webpages to recruit victim and attract them.
Make sure you set strict privacy settings and beware of strange friend request. Beware of fake advertisements and avoid sharing it among your social groups. Educate yourself from warning signs of trafficking and donโt forget to raise an alarm. ๐
There are several ways to stop human trafficking, including:
๐Increasing law enforcement efforts to identify and prosecute traffickers.
๐Providing support and resources for victims of trafficking, such as shelter, counselling, and job training.
๐Educating the public about the warning signs of trafficking and how to report it.
๐Strengthening international cooperation to combat trafficking across borders.
๐Addressing the root causes of trafficking, such as poverty and lack of opportunities such as education, employment, and skills.
Working all together in a concerted way on a local and international platform with survivors on prevention, detection, and response efforts, we together can stop trafficking of women and girls around the world for good.
