This Petition was created for my United Nations Project. The country we were granted with is Romania. Over 70,000 children in Romania are horribly abused by child labor. "In particular, there are 3.9 million economically active children in Romania, including over 300,000 child labourers in agriculture and low skilled jobs, and 60,000 to 70,000 engaged in the worst forms of child labour."(Scoop.co). My group asks for 1,0000 signatures, which will help contribute to putting an end to Child Labor laws in Romania and other countries throughout the world. Thank You!
Researching the reality of child labor in Romania has been a sobering experience that underscores how much work remains to be done. I am currently reaching out to human rights organizations to better understand how these signatures can be used to influence actual policy changes. Your commitment to this cause provides the necessary momentum to keep this conversation moving forward.

Seeing the growing momentum behind this project reminds me that people genuinely care about the welfare of children across the world. This collective interest suggests that we have found a way to bring attention to a reality that often remains hidden from view.

Heartbreaking to read this. Childhood is for playing and learning not backbreaking labor. Needs to stop immediately.
