Globalization Affect Human Rights

Research an International Non-Governmental Organization that works on behalf of human rights issues. Share the name and the mission of this organization, along with a summary, in your own words, of some recent work that they have done to advocate for and protect the human rights of a particular group or groups, and why this work was necessary. Also, discuss any challenges that they have encountered through their work. Your paper should be at least 500 words in length.

Over the years living conditions around the world have improved, even in the poorest of countries. Despite this there is still a clear difference between high-income countries and low-income countries. High-income countries are defined as countries with very productive economic systems where the majority of people have fairly high incomes, while low-income countries are defineed as having low economic systems where most people are poor and many do not meet living standards (Macionis et al., 2005, pg 439). Even though poverty can be found all over the world citizens in low-income countries are living in absolute poverty rather than relative poverty

Child labour is a very real problem in the world today, and although it is declining, progress is happening at a slow and unequal pace. Child labour by the International Labour Organization is defined as “work that deprives children of their childhood, their potential and their dignity, and that is harmful to physical and mental development (Diallo, Etienne, & Mehran, 2013, p. 2).” In the most extreme forms of child labour it could account for child enslavement, separation from their families, exposure to serious hazards and illnesses and being left to fend for themselves on the streets (Dinopoulos & Zhao, 2007). In order for certain types of work to be included as “child labour” depends on the child’s age, the type of work,

For centuries and years child labor has become one of the biggest problem in the world. It’s a challenge and long-term work for many countries to put an end to child labor especially those developing countries it’s one of the issues that’s considered as serious issue these days. Child labor refers to children’s who lose their rights and do things that aren’t supposed to do, it refers to children who go to work at the age of schooling. The international labor organization (ILO, 2013) estimated that there are around 168 million children’s working worldwide and of these 168 million children, 58 million of them are employed in hazardous jobs

Child labor is a sigsignificant problem in developing. Countries across the globe(Dilascia,tracey m).one of the most oftern -cited examples of child labor abuse occurs in manufacturing industries(Dilacia, tracey m).one of the most frequently proposed solutions to the child labor problem is the imposition of economic(Dilacia tracey m ). Many international organizations as well a number of European counties oppose placing on countries that permit child labor( Dilacia tracey m).ultimately ,the problem of child labor will not truly be solved until the poverty( Dilacia tracey m).It is estimated that a staggering million child across the world are exploited child laborers(zoltan, melania barto ).while the u.s. often speaks against child labor and has federal and state laws punishing those who illegally exploited children in this country(zoltan, melania barton). In order to prevent child labor,the u.s. must impose economic santions on countries that continue to exploit children(zoltan ,melanina barton).For instance ,the worst forms of child labor convention 182, enacted in 1999 , was designed to prohibit the worst forms of child labor.( zoltan.

One of the major issues faced between third world countries and with western civilization is the question of having child labor laws. Most of the westernization would all agree to get rid of the young under aged children from working in these dark, tight, ill ventilated factories or workshops. However, Chita Divakaruni explains how if the child labor law was to be passed then the children will have no other way to survive and result into being a robber or even worse and lose all their pride that they carry. Divakaruni explains how the passing of the child labor law in the United States, which will prohibit the import of goods from factories that has under aged children working in, would affect the children’s life as a whole and these children will have to result in a worse way of living to survive. On the other hand, Americans see an under aged child working long hard hours in a factory as a huge problem that needs to be stopped. These

Child Labor around the world has impacted the way we live even in the new century were technologies has evolved along with civilization. Many developing countries support Child Labor the decrease poverty line and keep their economy stable. Child Labor is also encouraged by many poor citizens believing that it is a way they could support themselves and their families. Worldwide about 217 million children work full time, countries like India there is about 33 million child laborer between the ages 5-18 (Perspective | Child Labor: The Inconvenient Truth behind India's Growth Story). Through the history of Child Labor in the United States, developing countries can take examples and solutions to reduce the percentage of child laborer working in their countries. As Child Labor rate decreases, many students get to obtain the necessary education and pressure a career of their choice. Malala Yousafzai, a female education activist and

All over the world the utilization of child labor robs young children from their desires and aspirations. Meet 12 year old Pakistani Aziz. Instead of living a normal childhood by attending school and playing with others, he is employed at a brick kiln. Each day Aziz works from the first light of day until midnight, while his boss harshly beats him with a cane. Aziz put in these long hours in order to help his impoverished family survive and pay off his dead father’s debts. For example, employers all across the world are hiring children between the ages of 5 and 16 and working them in the same situation as Aziz to work long hours in hazardous conditions. By doing this, employers are depriving children of a healthy childhood stocked with oodles

Throughout the past 50 years the average life expectancy of the world has increased steadily to where it sit now at 71 years.1 This increase can be attributed to many things ranging from the improvement in farming techniques to allow for greater yields of crops, to the lack of globally involved wars, improved industrial practices, and advancement of medical knowledge and technology which is what I will be focusing on in this paper.

I believe the unfolding of human rights' development was not only impacted by, but was a consequential urge of globalization. Despite the fact that humanitarian agreements already existed before, like the first Geneva Convention adopted in 1864, it was only in the aftermatch of the World War II that the international community increasingly worried about such issues (“Convention (I) for the Amelioration of the Condition of the Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field. Geneva, 12 August 1949”, n.d.). After the Holocaust, not only the term “genocide” was defined by the very first time (“Raphael Lemkin and Creation of the word “Genocide”, 2016), but the League of Nations was improved and in 1945 a new international collaboration was created: The United Nations (“History of the United Nations”, n.d.).

Child labour is work that exploits children mentally and physically, as well as keeping them away from school. The International Labor Organization estimates that 215 million children between the ages of 5 and 17 currently work under conditions that are considered illegal, hazardous or extremely exploitative. China is one of the main culprits. A recent study by the China Labour Bulletin in 2000, indicated that there were approximately 11,575,000 children at work between the ages of 10 to 14 in China. This violates many articles from the Convention of Rights of The Child. For example, article 32 states that, “You have the right to protection from work that harms you, and is bad for your health and prevents you from receiving an education. If you work, you have the right to be safe and paid fairly.” (The Convention of Rights of The Child, § 32, 1990). Child labour in China is a major problem that needs to be resolved. This essay will examine how child labour affects many misfortunate children, whilst demonstrating how child labour is still an uprising trend, one that needs to be changed. Showcasing why it’s so important to actively change our worldview on the exploitation of child labour, for the greater good of future generations.

According to Levaggi and Montefiori (2013, pp.100) globalisation is likely to have a significant impact on the population’s health and it creates challenges for the financing and provisions of the national health care system. The Office for National Statistics (2015) states

Child labor is a pervasive problem throughout the global economy, especially in the markets of developing countries. With over 90% of the total child labor market employed in the rural areas of Asia and Africa largely due to lack of enforcement, it is argued that something has to be done. Although the majority of people are ethically appalled by child labor, and against the exploitation of children, is the worldwide eradication of the worst forms of child labor really a feasible alternative? To answer this question people have to take into account a variety of factors involving both the economic and social costs, as well as have a firm understanding of the situations people are faced with in these underdeveloped

Globalization has brought about an increase in the cost of living in the Asian country. The high population in the country has also not helped matters as the incidence of poverty occasionally increases with increase in population. The high poverty levels coupled with the lack of social security in the country are to blame for the high uptake in child laborers (Tisdall et al., 2014, p. 36). Additionally, the privatization of the most basic of services has pushed out large populations out of employment and rendering them poor. This development has affected children adversely largely because of their vulnerability. Essentially, most children end up quitting school in search of employment opportunities to help their families. Large multinational corporations have then taken the opportunity to exploit these vulnerable children who provide an avenue for cheap labor and modern day slavery.

The gap between rich and poor nations is still growing. Although rich nations have provided aid and technical assistance to Third World nations, the developing nations face many obstacles in their drive to modernize. The population explosion, inflation, natural disasters, poor planning, and even government corruption have upset the development plans of many Third World nations. Some progress has been made in increasing food production. Researchers developed new
