The document discusses child labor in Uzbekistan, where the government forces children as young as 10 years old to pick cotton for long hours with little pay. During cotton harvesting season, many schools are closed and children are made to work in the fields. If they do not meet quotas, they may be punished or prevented from continuing their education. The practice is similar to child labor during the Industrial Revolution and still occurs today, violating children's rights. The document expresses surprise that child labor still happens and realizes it is an ongoing problem, concluding people who force children to work do not respect children or their rights.

2. ChildLabour=Slavery?
Slavery and Child labour are
very different. And i will give
some arguments of my
opinion.First of all i will
explain what Child Labour is
and what slavery is.
Child Labour: It means making
children work affecting them
physically and emotionally.
Many children died working in
factories or in farms. The
adults made their kids work so
the factories paid them.
Slavery: they forced black
people to work in farms,
plantations, houses, etc. They
didn't paid them.
The differences were that to
the children they paid to their
parents and the slaves they
didn't paid them. The blacks
couldn't choose they have to do
what white people said. Also
that the blacks were slaves
because only for being blacks
and the children that worked
were black or white.

3. CausesandConsequences.
Causes:
Being a lot of time in the
chimney
Touching cutting things
Not eating well
Not going to school
Getting into the machines
Not being clean
Consequences:
● They had breathing problems
● They got infections
● They work a lot and if they
didn't eat well the died of
hunger.
● They did not had education
● The machine could start
working and they can not
got out.

4. Children´srights
For me the 5 more important kids rights
are:
1.The right to give their opinions and
to be listen when they need help
2.The right to be loved and not hit or
torture
3.The right to be protec of dangerous or
bad things or people
4.The right to have an education, go to
school.
5.The right to have a family and not be
sold.

in Uzbekistan

6. ChildlabourinUzbekistan
Uzbekistan is big exporter of cotton, they get a lot of money
exporting it. But this is not all, 3 months per year they close
many schools and they send the kids of 10 years old or youngers
to pick up cotton, and on the growing season they are made them
put a pesticides to the crops.They receive very little money. The
government said to the headmaster of the school how much the
children have to work and if one children did less work than the
others this one had a punishment, sometiemes they are hit. If
kids refuse to do this work they got out of the school. Kids end
very tired doing all this work and also some children died
because of the diseases that are their. Even a girl suicide
because a punishment they put to her because she didnt do all her
work.

7. Cottonandchildren
This is a quote that i found in
this page
http://enews.fergananews.com/artic
les/2577 of what some supervisors
said to some journalists that were
investigating that place.
. "The students of 6-7 grades are working in this field. At
the next fields you will find high school students and the
crew of teachers. We all have to collect certain volume of
cotton. If we fail to do so, we will not get 13th salary. The
middle school students are here voluntarily. It is perfect
that they work for the good of the state",

cotton

8. IndustrialRevolution andThecottonplantations
In my opinion what is happening in this country is very
similar of what happened in the industrial revolution
because they both forced children to work. Nowadays we
study what happened in the industrial revolution and we
all get surprise and we start criticizing what people
did,but we don't realize that this is still happening,
that we are still living in a world that do not respect
children's rights. That crazy things are still happening
like get a children out of a school because of not
working well, what's that? we are still living in a
world that do not respect children and that do not
respect their rights.

9. IWASSURPRISED….
I was surprised that child labour is still
happening. When in class we saw a video i
thought that what people did was a crazy thing
that anyone now could do that, but when i read
what is now happening in Uzbekistan, i could not
believe that people is still doing this.

10. ILEARNEDTHAT...
I learned that children were very
bad treated and that people did not
care of their feelings or problems
they only care about having money
for themselves.

11. IAMBEGINNINGTOWONDER...
I am beginning to wonder who much
time will this continue, because is
something that is horrible and
something that should stop now
because more and more children will
continue suffering.

12. Inowrealize… Idonotagreewith….
I now realize that
this is still
happening. I thought
that child labour
existed a lot of time
ago but now a realize
that this is happening
now too.
I do not agree
with people that
make children
work because they
are not
respecting them
and they are not
respecting their
rights
