Every child has the right to learn, to play and to build relationships. They should be educated in school for them to learn things and apply it to their lives. They should enjoy their childhood by playing what they want to gain friends. They should also build and maintain good relationships to their family, relatives and friends. However, Child Labor became the hindrance to child’s rights and development.
Children engaging in child labor don’t go to school because they have worked to provide food for their family. Thus, they can’t learn things they suppose to learn. They can’t be a productive citizen and can’t have a fulfilling life because at an early age they were exposed to an environment of poverty. They can’t also enjoy their lives because of the hardships they were experiencing.
They say, “..the youth is the hope of our country..”, then how can we attain this if most of the youths of today were imprisoned to hardships and sacrifices?
