Child labor worldwide.
I want to document child labor, mostly in Asia and Africa. To push the world to act against this horrible practice.
An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour - one in six children in the world. Millions of children are engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.
* In Sub-Saharan Africa around one in three children are engaged in child labour, representing 69 million children.
* In South Asia, another 44 million are engaged in child labour.
I want to travel to the countries where children are the most affected by this terrible practice and make the world react by documenting and publishing this to the widest possible audience.
