Quotes and wishes: «Child Labour»
Inevitably bound together
Child labor and poverty are inevitably bound together and if you continue to use the labor of children as the treatment for the social disease of poverty, you will have both poverty and child labor to the end of time.

Quotes and wishes: «Child Labour»
There is still much to do
In the past, children were all too often viewed more as property than people. Many victories for children’s rights have been won in the last 100 years, such as child labor laws, protecting children from having to work long hours in unsafe conditions; public education, allowing all children to have access to learning; and laws preventing child abuse. But there is still much to do in protecting children’s rights around the world.
Robert Alan Silverstein

They belong only to their own future freedom

Mikhail Bakunin

What’s done to children
What’s done to children, they will do to society.
