CHILD LABOR PROBLEM

You Can Help End Child Labor

Child labor is a crime committed against nearly 220 million children, or one in every seven, ages 5-17, around the world.

They are forced to work, sometimes as child laborers, sometimes as virtual slaves. This practice is illegal and just plain wrong.
