Child slaves
Even though it is illegal to have slaves, there is even more slaves in the world than there was before the law was set. So far the recognized types of child slavery include child abuse, child labor, child prostitution and child trafficking. Doesn't that sound sad, think of it, you were walking to the store to get some food for your family, when some people in a car come and steal you right on the spot, next thing you know is that you have chains on your ankles and/or wrists and are forced to work for someone. A lot of times they are children (who can't defend themselves) are stolen and forced to work for maybe around 16 hours a day, no breaks and some poor children are taken to work in cellars with just enough light to work in. They are hardly fed any food or water and are only fed enough to keep them working for the rest of the day. Some slaves get Sundays off but that is very little chance, most are not paid. Let's say there is this slave and her name is...... Sara, Sara has to work in a small cramped cellar, no fresh air and just enough light to do her work. There is a few other girls and boys in that room too, Sara and the other children make clothing and if they don't make the amount their master told them to make they could be whipped, beaten and even killed. The children are always scared and will probably never see their family's again. How will you feel if this ever happened to you? Sadly there are so many child slaves that are forced to work today. YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!
