We demand a global ban on all types of child labor including business reasons, for resources (mining, manufacturing), and child trafficking.
Kids should have a chance to live a normal life. They should be able to have the right to be free and to enjoy being a kid rather than suffering and doing labor work. There are approximately 168 million children under child labor right now. This needs to stop. Help save the lives of millions of children by signing this petition today.

I was just staring at the clock and thinking about how those millions of kids are probably working right now while I sit here in this quiet room typing this out. It feels strange how silent the companies stay even when people keep showing up here to sign their names and demand something better. I sent another round of emails to the press people today but mostly I just keep coming back to read the comments you all leave because they are honestly haunting and real.

I logged on this morning and just stared at the screen because I really honestly never thought this momentum would actually happen. It is getting so loud out there now and maybe we can actually push for something real instead of just watching from the sidelines like I usually do.

so sad. kids deserve a childhood.
this breaks my heart. no kid should have to work in a mine or factory. school is where they belong.
Keep fighting for them. Every child deserves to be free.
So sad that we're still having to address this issue in todays day & age. Great initative Alek!
ABOUT TIME SOMEONE DID SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING THAT THIS IS STILL HAPPENING IN 2016.
Stop Child Labour Now!
