Child exploitation is a serious issue which unfortunately still exists in the twenty-first century, despite the efforts of many organisations and campaigners working to put a stop to it. Many people are unaware of the problem, and assume that exploitation on such a dramatic level has passed into the history books along with the slavery. Sadly slavery still exists, and could be happening right under your nose – UNICEF reports that the UK has a large number of children and adults working under slave-like conditions, against their will and against the many laws and regulations which have been put in place to protect such happenings from occurring.
The race to stop child exploitation is one that you can help with – get the facts, join action groups, and start making yourself heard. The fact is that ignoring the problem or leaving it for others to fix is almost as bad as being part of the problem itself – by not speaking up, you allow exploitation to continue. You can make a difference to the life of children all over the world, just by being aware of the problem and refusing to let it continue. If you can, make a donation of time or money to one of the many organisations who are working to stop exploitation worldwide. Even if your donation is small, the effect will be dramatic – you are telling your community, your government, and the world, that you think child exploitation has to stop.
