THE RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED

Children all over the world have the right to live and grow in an environment free from harm , at home , in schools, and their communities.

• In schools around the world, bullying continues to be a problem, Schools & government try to correct this by creating anti-bullying laws .

• In some countries, child labor is used to save money for businesses

THE RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED FROM BULLYING • Bullying are actions that are meant to threaten, humiliate,

or harm another person or persons.

• It can be physical violence, causing bodily injury.

• Some examples are hitting, punching, throwing objects, shoving and other physical abuse.

• It can happen in the classroom, playground, or neighborhood

• Bullying can be verbal and mental.

• Some examples are name calling, abusive language, verbal, attacks, and spreading rumors and lies.

• It can happen face to face or by E-mail, instant messaging, and through websites.

• Leaving people out of a group can also be a form of bulling.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT

• All people should be treated with respect and honor, despite their differences in size, appearances, culture , or religion.

• According to the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry,”… close to half of all the children will experience bullying.

• Bullying can make a child feel bad about himself emotionally and socially.

• It can make his school work suffer.

• It can lead to attempted suicide

THE RIGHT TO BE PROTECTED FROM FORCED LABOR

• In some countries, impoverished children are forced to work in shop and factories for low or no pay in terrible conditions and long hours.

• Children are put to work despite laws that make it illegal.

• The money the children earn often are taken by the adults who exploit them.

• They may be exposed to harmful chemicals and hazardous work conditions.

• They may not be given proper food and medical care.

• Working takes the children out of school.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO ME

• All people under 18 have the right to live and grow in an environment free from harm and danger.

• Children who are forced to work do not have the chance to go to school and get a proper education.

• They have the right to be free to play and learning.

• Children have the right to live and spend time at home with their parents.

• The government, community and families should protect children from all forms of child exploitation, such as forced labor.

• They have the right to express their opinion, to be heard, and to be protected, especially when forced labor is harmful to their physical and intellectual growth.
