CHILD RIGHTS ADVOCACY
Child slavery cannot be treated just as an emotional or ethical issue. It comes with many indispensable burdens of poverty, decent livelihood and existence which the poor have to meet. It is easy to say that children should be provided with a hassle free childhood so that they can grow to their full potential. But for a child born in a poor South Sudanese household or with no one to care after long civil war, childhood is about surviving. In a country like ours, where coming from civil war and with no governance structures capable of imparting people minimum incomes and basic amenities of life, child labor is inevitable. Until and unless families have a comfortable income to live a dignified life, child slavery will continue to be a necessary evil for them. For those factors, we are limited to put a blanket ban on Child slavery, until we exterminate its root cause of poverty.
The youth, by virtue of noble campaigns like CRM’s feed the needy child, educate the needy child and, can definitely make a difference in the lives of such children. The youth can help in augmenting child as well as adult illiteracy by voluntary teaching assignments only if for them they too get education now. This will not only help in educating the unprivileged children, but also protect them from exploitation by enlightening them about their rights. Harping over the governments or berating them about what has not been done would only spoil time. Instead, we should focus on what should and can be done to give all these children a better tomorrow. After all, a single drop makes an ocean; a single effort makes a movement.
