Introduction

Welcome to Greater Carolinas Womens Center!

Understanding Child Labor Exploitation

Child labor exploitation is a grave issue that affects millions of children around the world. At Greater Carolinas Womens Center, we are committed to raising awareness and advocating for the protection of children's rights.

The Global Scale of Child Labor

In this policy brief, titled "Hidden Hands & Stolen Childhoods," the United States Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI) sheds light on the global web of child labor exploitation. The brief delves into the various industries and regions where child labor is prevalent, exposing the harsh realities faced by these vulnerable children.

Impact on Stolen Childhoods

Child labor not only deprives children of their basic rights but also robs them of their childhood. By engaging in hazardous work, these children are subjected to physical, emotional, and psychological harm. Their access to education, healthcare, and opportunities for personal development are severely limited. It is essential that we take collective action to address this issue head-on.

At Greater Carolinas Womens Center, we firmly believe that change begins with knowledge and awareness. By sharing USCRI's policy brief, "Hidden Hands & Stolen Childhoods," we aim to bring attention to this pressing global concern and encourage individuals, organizations, and policymakers to take decisive action.

Through our various programs and initiatives, we provide support to vulnerable communities affected by child labor. By working with local stakeholders, we aim to empower families with resources, education, and sustainable livelihood opportunities, thereby preventing the cycle of child labor.
