Child Labour is a blazing problem in the whole world. Especially in the third world. People talk about it, they condemn it, say bad things about child labour which are true of course but that's just it.
We talk about and talk about it and do nothing "Just talk, no action" people could ramble on for the rest of their lives. Those who engage in child trafficking will never be caught their profits blooming everyday. In most cases officials who hold offices of the highest prestige and honour accept bribes to turn a blind eye to child trafficking.
The world has progressed a lot since Columbus discovered the new world. That is undeniable man who began as cannibals and barbarians are now considered civilised beings. I say "considered" because the child in the twenty-first century is more insecure than he ever was. More insecure that even he was in the dark ages.
Who is to blame? Men with ruthless ambition. Men who will stop at nothing to make some money and further their ends. We must stop them! If we try we can do it. There is a old saying nothing is impossible if we put our minds in to it. Millions of children work in appalling conditions in a constant fear of death. All the children deserve a good education. They don't need to worry about having a job. Their Future must be good one for they have the potential to do more things for this world so we must stop this menace of child labour.
