Much
of our clothes, food, and common household items come from factories
located around the world. In the United States, child labor is
no longer considered a major problem. However, in many poverty
stricken developing nations, child labor is still a large part
of the labor industry. Millions of innocent children are forced
to work under deplorable working conditions and for extremely
poor wages. Due to the lack of government protection, childrens
basic rights and needs are being ignored.
Our website, The Path of Innocence,
intends to educate people about the facts of child labor, causes
and the effects, childrens rights, their experiences, and
ways to help improve their quality of life. Through this interactive
and educational site, visitors will be able to take an up-close
look at the realities of child labor and perhaps discover how
to make a difference in a childs life. Children may have
small voices and may be incapable of changing things;but we have
a responsibility to eliminate child labor.
