Combating Child Labour
Combating child labor aims to protect children's rights and ensure they receive proper education and care instead of being forced into work at a young age. Efforts focus on raising awareness among families about the dangers of child labor and its negative impact on children's development. Financial and educational support is provided to poor families to alleviate economic pressures that lead them to exploit their children for work. Awareness campaigns in schools and local communities emphasize the importance of education and ensure that children are enrolled in schools. The Ministry, in collaboration with relevant authorities, enforces laws that prohibit child labor and provides necessary protection to ensure a better future for children. Sameh Samir collaborated with the Ministry and donor institutions like the European Union ILO and UNDP to produce visual content, including cartoons, books, animated films, and various publications, to support these efforts.
As a crucial element of the campaign, a thorough press report was carefully put together. This report included a moving conversation with a young laborer, providing a glimpse into his life, the tough difficulties he faces while working, and the daily dangers he deals with, including the ever-present risk of accidents. The story also highlighted his unwavering determination to earn a small income to help his family and follow his educational dreams. The report was enhanced with powerful illustrations and cartoons used by journalists to strengthen the story's impact.
Another impactful report was carried out, this time focusing on a young girl involved in gathering cotton crops. In a sincere interview, she openly discussed her challenging ordeals in the fields, revealing the difficulties she encounters on a daily basis. Despite her hardships, she expressed her aspirations of becoming a doctor and her strong desire for a more promising future.
