7. 50 Million children are forced to work illegally in brick
kilns, building sites, sorting matches, factories of every
kind, garages, hotels and shops.
Families need the children to work for money to have
the necessities of life.
Their children know that their family needs the money
so they work when their parents tell them to work.
Some children that work are in toxic fumes that could
cause muscular degeneration and blur eyesight.

they post on their website or they will some how get the
