Stop viewing people that use child laborers as a benevolent force that are keeping children from dying in the streets.
These people buy, sell and take children by force employing tactics such as threats, violence and (gang) rape. They then traumatize, abuse, kill and use force to secure their profit.
Understand that children and families are not weighing the option as "send my kid to a factory or starve". It is "I just got murdered / will be murdered if these people don't take my kid" or "I simply want to sell my child for cash".
- spdustin 11y agoStop making the same-but-different sweeping generalizations! You cannot discredit one hypothesis by changing the Boolean and calling it a proof. While this child labor could be performed by abducted children, it's also possible that it's performed willingly by children to pay for their school uniforms or supplies, rather than drop out of school.
