And video comes under fire after closing the account of a prominent chinese prodemocracy groups critics accuse the tech company of giving in to beijing we talked to the activist at the center of the controversy. Im going to go 1st well come to the program the United Nations is warning that millions of children are too risk of being pushed into underage labor by the Global Health emergency extreme poverty made worse by economic shutdowns in many countries means that all too many children are undertaking dangerous explosive work to support their families the situation is especially die in the Central African republic the overwhelming majority of the population lives on less than a dollar a day. What of that day that we still live in years old and is a waiter in this restaurant in benghazi the capital of the Central African republic that we and his mother fled the war in bunbury in 3 d. 17 he works here for 9 hours a day every day for a salary of just 355. 00 c. F. A. Thats a little less than you were a day after my father was killed my mother is very ill. I go out to get money so we can buy medicine for my mother so we can treat her and so that we can buy food for us selves. According to the lookout enjoy up on some front here there are more than 600000 children in distress all over the country following the conflicts says 2013 however like many of these children that with the situation remains problematic they find i love our country is a poor theres no one to help this child were teaching him how to earn money so he can take care of himself in future if we leave him stranded rebels could come and persuade him to join their ranks to earn some money thats why were helping him earn money i dont find anything wrong in that. And if i make a flight with. Marital bliss couple in head of a local n. G. O. S making an awareness raising and Community Communication campaign a priority market and want to get to moscow i understand you want to help him get some Study Material but hes too young and his future would be better if he gets to school im not here to make it because in this neighborhood many under aged children who cannot be looked after by their own families are taken advantage of by businesspeople. Condemns child labor you also there is a lack of Awareness Among recruiters do so used to denote idea doing damage is trivial will be in these little boys or school age we make a commitment to follow this child on to we can remove him and get him to school. The Central African republic has one of the highest rates of child level in the world the situation is precarious and is linked to 3 countries is the ability nobody less Child Protection organizations are trying to address all forms of child abuse in the country. Thats more about this was sophie to conning shes the director of the International LaborOrganization Office in rb john thats a port city and ivory coast Sophie Africa has the highest number of child victims worldwide and i was quite shocked to learn earlier that the incredible 72000000 children in across africa are in employment why is the number so staggeringly high. 72000000 children across africa and that is one child in 5 age 5 to 17 in africa it is very high there are reasons and. This is linked of course to poverty and. That the story of the boy in Central Africa republic perfectly illustrates the complexity of the factors that are. Creating Child Poverty is the lack of access to education to create you creation in the case of Central Africa education is free and compulsory on paper but in practice many children out of school the lack of access to social protection again the story of the child in Central Africa shows that hes not his mother is sick. Theres no health care theres no safety net and the only possibility for the child to start working the lack of a warning is a. Very well illustrated mentary lack of encroaching on course and on the low because the majority of. Workers in africa are in the form an economy where theres a very. Its. The majority of children in africa are also working in the agricultural sector. More than 85 percent and this is paid family work the most. For the most so very difficult to enforce the nation. In ivory coast for example a gauge in the hospital including the harvesting of cocoa and coffee what is so is so so so so hamas and beyond what so its about it. What this has it is a maverick culture in general i would say. For the 1st work can be hazardous by nature or by the circumstances in which it is being done. I would say that this work in agriculture is due to the exposure to chemicals chemical as to science and so do you. And dangerous tools it is due to not ours explosion in. Ivory coast but also across africa the thing that governments are doing enough to stop child labor. I would say in africa at the rate of ratification of the ilo conventions on china is very high the problem is of course in the education of these conventions a large number of governments have also where that theres an issue are taking measures to address it has elaborated National Action plans to mean a child labor. But of course its a very complex problem it can only be addressed if you address issues of lack of access to education and poor social protection coverage. And deeply entrenched notional norms so i would say that its really in the optic ation that those measures that. Its becoming really challenging so the lot is being done and i would like to mention also that the African Union has adopted. A continental action. For the 1st time that the. Soviet economy that thank you very much for this thank you.
