Child slavery is a major global issue, with over 70 million children affected. Many children are forced to work in factories for little or no pay, often in dangerous conditions without access to education. The cocoa industry in West Africa has been found to use child slaves, with over 100,000 children working in slavery on cocoa farms in the Ivory Coast. The Polaris Project works to combat human trafficking and modern slavery, advocating for policies to end child slavery and support its victims. Individual actions like donating, conscious consumerism, and spreading awareness can help address this serious human rights violation.

Fairtrade is an organization that aims to address unfairness in global trade by ensuring farmers and workers receive fair wages and safe working conditions. Typically, farmers earn only a small fraction of the price paid for products while the rest is distributed among other entities in the supply chain. Fairtrade guarantees farmers a fair minimum price for their crops, long-term trading partnerships, and support for community development projects. This helps provide a more reliable income and improves lives, as farmers report being able to afford basic necessities and regain their dignity through Fairtrade.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.
