- Notes
- Issue of IAFN Newsletter included as part of the Anglican World for Trinity 2003. An editorial and series of short reports from different agencies and countries about "Children and Work." "The International Labour Organisation estimates that there are 246 million working children aged between 5 and 17." "A recent UNICEF Report states that `The most familiar example of adults exploiting children is hazardous labour. Adults often make children work long hours in homes, factories, in fields or on the streets, rather than sending them school -- denying them their fundamental rights to education and protection'. The forces behind such exploitation of children are powerful: greed, lust, war, poverty." "The document `A World Fit For Children' was produced by the UN General Assembly's Special Session on Children 8-10 May 2002. It stresses again the rights of children to education and the need to protect them from economic exploitation. This newsletter makes clear the amount of work which must be done to achieve this goal. But it also tells of practical projects which, even in a small way, are helping to alleviate the problems: cultivating pepper seeds in Ghana and so enabling parents to meet school fees; projects to help educate street children in Brazil; the Tamil Nadu Theological Seminary working to raise awareness and bring education and hope to child labourers in India".
