Sometimes the machine is so high and the boys are
so little, they have to climb up to reach the
bobbins. If they slip they can hurt themselves
badly.

What is child labour?Some types of work make
useful, positive contributions to a child's
development. Work can help children learn about
responsibility and develop particular skills that
will benefit them and the rest of society. Often,
work is a vital source of income that helps to
sustain children and their families.
However, across the world, millions of children
do extremely hazardous work in harmful
conditions, putting their health, education,
personal and social development, and even their
lives at risk. These are some of the
circumstances they face
Full time work at a very early age
Dangerous workplaces
Excessive working hours
Subjection to psychological, verbal, physical and
sexual abuse
Obliged to work by circumstances or individuals
Limited or no pay
Work and life on the streets in bad conditions
Inability to escape from the poverty cycle -- no
access to education

I sit at the loom 12 hours strong I dont know
this is very wrong Working in silence all
through the day I dont even know theres
another way.
When I ran away, I would pay, be attacked With
relentless beatings on my back. I had no choice,
for I needed to stay And labor again for six
cents a day.
My name is Iqbal and Im only five I dont even
know that I am alive. When Im six I hope this
torture will cease Or is this the way it must
always be?
At the age of six, I dreamt of the loom. No
dreams of puppies, or toys in my room. Now I am
seven, and trust God has a plan... To save the
children from the factory man.
Im eight years old, And think I can say... That
I do what Im told, But I hate every day Now I
am nine and BLF set me free I escaped to a
Rally from the factory.

The papers were sent when I was just ten... Ill
never return to the loom again! My story can now
be told to more We no longer owe the factory
store
The school of knowledge Fed my spirit a feast
And then my light went out, When I was shot
near a beast.
Do not buy pretty rugs or toys, That are made by
children -- girls and boys. Watch for the
Rugmark that makes this decree Im made by a
worker thats grown-up and free!

Postscript
Iqbal had the dream to read and help other boys
and girls. After being freed at ten years old,
Iqbal Masih became an outspoken advocate for
working children and was awarded the Reebok Human
Rights Award in America at the age of 11. Back in
Pakistan, he rallied and set over 3,000 children
free. Then, at the age of 12, he was murdered on
Easter Sunday in 1995.

'We, the working children of the Third
World, propose...' The Right to Respect by
Kadiatou of Conakry, Guinea
1 We want recognition of our problems, our
initiatives, proposals and our process of
organization.
2 We are against the boycott of products made by
children. 3 We want respect and security for
ourselves and the work that we do. 4 We want
an education system whose methodology and content
are adapted to our reality. 5 We want
professional training adapted to our reality and
capabilities. 6 We want access to good
healthcare for working children. 7 We want to
be consulted on all decisions concerning us, at
local, national or international level.
11
8 We want the root causes of our situation,
primarily poverty, to be addressed and tackled.
9 We want more activity in rural areas so that
children do not have to migrate to the cities.
10 We are against exploitation at work but we
are for work with dignity, with hours adapted so
that we have time for education and leisure. In
any conference we want representation on an equal
basis (if there are 20 ministers present, we
want 20 working children also to be present). We
will have discussions with our ministers but we
do not want them to represent us. Internationalist
