Introduction 

Children deserve a life! They shouldn't’t be stuck in a room 

working for over seven hours a day, every day. They 

shouldn't’t be treated like this. We all have rights! But why do 

some children don’t? Most children don’t know how lucky they 

are. Some children are forced to work everyday spending lots 

of time away from their family.     Many children around the 

world are forced into child labor. Child labor is when children 

are forced to work for many hours a day as slaves.   This is a 

huge problem. But, every problem can be solved!   Canada 

helps stop child labor in many different countries.   Child labor 

is illegal in most countries like Canada and the U.S.A but, in 

countries with not many laws like Iraq and China many 

children are sent to work as slaves.   Poverty is the main cause 

of child labor. If you are poor you are usually forced to get a job 

to support your family.    Just like every place in the world 

Canada helps with big issues like child labor.   Canada helps 

promote fair trade.   Fair trade is giving the employees the right 

amount of money they should be making. Nobody should be put 

through working as slaves at such a young age.   This needs to stop and, 

by just donating or volunteering you can be helping the world just like many 

other Canadians. 

Canada has company's like goodweave that have 

special labels that say child labor free.

Many people donate money to fundraisers.

Canada works with the International Labor 

Organization (ILO) to try to educate the poor.

Some Canadian products earnings go to the poor.

Canadian schools and organizers have food drives 

during the holidays so the poor can have food.

Canada is part of the UN (United Nations) who 

started the International program on the 

Elimination of child labor in 1992.

Canada   try's not to trade goods or products with 

child labor countries.
