Lost childhood

He was adorned with the beauty of his pureness....

His eyes were full of dreams of innocence...!

Running behind the butterflies and holding glowworm in his hands.....

His desires and wishes were begun to expand....!

Hardships and Worries of this cruel world fell on him....

To make him realize the reality of this land....!

From the early age he strives and struggled for his family....

And harshness of others he learned to withstand....!

I don't need to explain the whole thing because my words are enough, to describe the dilemma of the situation, as in so many countries, child labor is very common, and the saddest thing is that people has accepted it as a normal. But did you ever think for a moment, about the little dreams which these children were holding in their eyes are squashed recklessly. Their wish to play with toys, would be extinguished completely.

I feel really sad, whenever I see children doing hard work to earn money to fulfil the needs of their families. They must have an urge to play with different toys, they also want to eat their favorite cookies, they also wanted to have a look of affection towards them, but this society forced them to pick up hammer in their hands at this little age.


Once I heard news about a little kid who was only of 7 years old, but due to the poverty his family forced him to work hard for their needs. So he was left at the shop of the mechanics, where he was used to doing hard work, but still his instructor was not happy with him. One day he brought a steel wire, and beat him recklessly. He was in bad condition, so people brought him to hospital. I was shocked to hear this inhuman treatment. How could someone be so heartless. But thank God he was saved after treatment.

There was also another girl who was only of 10 years old, but her family was not in position to provide their needs. So she was hired as maid in someone's house, but they were not human. They torture her badly, even burned her arms with cigarettes and her hairs were cut off. What was her fault? Maybe she dropped some pots or did something opposite to their expectations. But did she truly deserve this severe punishment?

Few years back a serious step was taken to reduce child labor in my country. The ones who were caught by forcing children to do work, would be dropped into jail. So this practice was shortly reduced, but now again it has rapidly increased. So it's the responsibility of governing forces to implement this law again.

Here are three major steps through which we can eradicate child labor.

1) We should spread awareness, which is possible, through education. So education should be increased, because it is the only way to educate people to avoid this practice. We can make them realize the pain of losing your dreams at this young age.


2)Improve economic growth: Government should produce different jobs to the unemployed people, and the ones who are living their life below the poverty line.


3) Stakeholders should take the responsibility, and should make effective implementation of laws.

I hope in this way we can be succeeded to save our children. I know it's complete eradication is not possible, but still we can do our best to make it less.
