SEC S17W2: "Protecting children"

Greetings Steemit friends

Children are always vulnerable to our actions, as most of the time, they have no choice but to follow our demands. Children have a lot on their minds and are ready to follow instructions. Children might be doing any of these actions out of excitement without knowing the implications in the future. Whatever actions we push them to do impact their growth, education, and development.

In your own words, what does Child Slavery mean and what are its most common manifestations?

---

Child Slavery can be seen in many different forms. It is the actions that have negative implications on the child, both emotionally and physically. A common manifestation is early marriages in some communities. Some children have to go through domestic violence due to early marriages. Another case in conflict zones is the recruitment of child soldiers. These kids are sent to war fronts, to defend courses that they can't explain. In my community, we have kids on the street selling. Some gradients use the excuse of using the kids to support the family's financial situation. Most of the cases are always exaggerated, and the kids are victims of stress violence.

How does forced labor impact the lives of children?

---

Children have a huge negative impact from child slavery. Slavery, from the word, has never had any positive impact on an individual. Practically, forced labor impacts are broken down into two categories. That is educational and developmental. Forced labor leads to physical injuries and, in some cases, death. Cultivation of criminal behaviors, and the possibility of risky sexual lifestyles. Delay in development, due to poor or lack of food to eat. Forced labor has several impacts and not cultures to encourage in life both humans and animals.

What strategies do you consider effective to eradicate forced child labor?

---

It has been a difficult one for governments all over the world trying to eradicate forced child labor. I did mention, it has no positive impact. the reason why no government will want to let it in their communities.

Education is the best strategy to help eradicate forced child labor. It is difficult to force the community to respect laws if they don't see the need for them. When the community is educated on the negative impact and type of community they are building for the future. It will be easy to eradicate the practice from the community.

Do you think it is fundamental for children to have the freedom to fully develop and fulfill their dreams? Explain your answer.

In one of the contests in the past, I mentioned that kids have a lot of things in their heads. They find it difficult to filter, and so get themself in the position to try all of the things. It is a good option to let children have a free environment to figure out things. But then again, they need guidance from a more experienced individual.

The things we know are out of experience, and we keep learning every day. I will always say, to give children the opportunity to make mistakes. Adults are who they are because of the different mistakes they make when trying to achieve their dreams. It is a difficult one to let children on their own, the more you know what is in their heads. At that point, you can be of help to achieve their dreams.

Child slavery should not be encouraged, no matter the form. We all make funny decisions and let the children tell you about their decisions. That way will be able to help guide them toward their dreams. A lot will change as they grow with age, and dimensions toward their dreams will change too. So, a reminder will help them if they still want to stick to their previous dreams or have decided to change and share with you.
