CHILD LABOUR

Article 32

Child labour is he exploitation of children through any form of work that deprives them of their childhood and many other child rights such as a right to an education and a right to a standard of living. Article 32 of the The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) states that every child has a right for freedom of child labour so that a child may be able to develop and grow the way they should. Child labour is forbidden by law in most places, but unfortunately, this child right is not always honoured in some places of the world, often in more impoverished areas. An estimated 250 million children between the ages of 5 and 14 are still in employment today, 120 million of which are full time workers and are sometimes working beyond a normal working day of 8 hours.
