Waltop Human Development Initiative

Waltop Human Development Initiative Since 2012, we have being building a bridge that will lead to the permanently reduction in child laborer, early marriage and upholding our human right. U.S.

The causes of child labor include high level of poverty and unemployment, limited access to compulsory, free education, violations of existing laws or codes of conduct, inadequate laws and enforcement and exemptions included within national laws. At 59 percent, the agriculture sector remains the top sector where child labor is found, with the services and industry sectors not far behind. The Unite

d States Department of Labor has identified over 130 products produced by children, with the top products including bricks, to***co, cotton, coffee, sugarcane, cattle, rice, po*******hy, diamonds, stones, cocoa and fish. The two most important international provisions protecting the rights of children are the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) and the ILO Convention on the Worst Forms of Child Labor (ILO Convention Number 182.) The CRC, adopted in 1989, “is the first legally binding international instrument to incorporate the full range of human rights” specifically dedicated to children’s rights. It is the most widely ratified human rights treaty in history, holding national governments accountable for protecting and ensuring children’s rights and interests. The purpose of ILO Convention Number 182, adopted in 1999, was to help strengthen existing provisions on child labor and bring more international attention to the matter. The Convention “helped to focus the international spotlight on the urgency of action to eliminate as a priority, the worst forms of child labor without losing the long term goal of the effective elimination of all child labor.”

International efforts throughout the past decade have reduced child labor by one-third. For girls, the numbers fell by 40 percent; by comparison, child labor for boys decreased by 25 percent. Department of Labor 2012 statistics, divided by region, indicate:

Asia & Pacific: 77.8 million children
Sub-Saharan Africa: 59 million children (28.8 million of which are engaged in the worst forms of child labor)
Latin America & the Caribbean: 12.5 million children
Middle East & North Africa: 9.2 million children
In spite of the steady progress made in reducing child labor, significant challenges remain for legal protection efforts, as “many countries have good laws that protect children from exploitation, but they lack enforcement.”

A life well-lived, now laid to rest,
A soul of love, now truly blessed.
In our hearts, your memory will remain,
Amidst the tears, there's a hint of joy, small but plain.

Your wisdom, a beacon in the darkest night,
Your laughter, a melody, pure and bright.
Through every challenge, you stood tall,
Guiding us, inspiring us, as we recall.

A father's love, a bond so strong,
Shining bright, like a soothing song.
Your gentle spirit, forever in our hearts,
We'll cherish your love, until forever departs.

Though you journey to a distant land,
Your legacy shall forever stand.
In our minds, you'll forever reside,
With love, respect, and deep pride.

Farewell, dear Daddy , with love we say,
Rest now, in peace, in eternal day.
Your memory lives on, in whispers and sighs,
In the love we share, as time flies.
Goodnight My Daddy.
