Committe: International Labour Organization Topic: Child Labour Country: France

Child labour means the work that children are forced to do every day for a lot of hours without stopping.

=
More than the half of them,made dangerous works and a lot of them are trapped in the worst forms of illegal, degrading and dangerous forms of work.Nowadays there are a lot of child workers in the world, with ages between 5 and 17 years.=====

=
The children are brought to France between 7 and 15 years old. They enter with a passport like a turist but, the most common is that they are included in their employer's passports,rich imigrants with their same origin,under the identity of their children.=====

They are objects of discrimination and sometimes they have to feed on scarps that their employers give them.
In some ocaasions France has repeatedly supported UNICEF to end child exploitation. For several years France has been making significant voluntary contributions to the International Programme on the Elimination of Child Labour focusing on this action. France did a threat with the ILO(International Labour of Organisation) and they drew up a new convention on prohibiting the worst forms of child labour. On the basis of this recent convention, already ratified by 120 countries in the world, the ILO is keen to refocus its action on the priority elimination of these worst forms of exploitation to which nearly 179 million children in the world are subjected, 1 child in 8 sale and trafficking of children, forced labour, debt bondage and serfdom, use of children for prostitution or pornography or for illicit activities such as drug trafficking and work which is likely to harm a child ’s health, safety or morals. I think a good idea to finish with this is that adult people from the country work in the place of the children,although they receive less money but they can give the children a happy infancy. Its also true that if people do that, they can't mantain their families because thy have to work most of the day to receive nothing, so this problem it can be solve with all of aur help. We can buy only necessary things, so like this people have to work the half they do it. Its very difficult to solve this problem, but if all of us put a little part of ourselves maybe we can improve something.
