This document discusses the harms of child labor around the world. It notes that as many as 12 million children under 14 years old work illegally to support their families due to poverty or having lost parents. The document provides statistics on child labor, such as 114 million children working in Asia and the Pacific and 65 million in Sub-Saharan Africa. It describes the dangerous conditions some children face, such as working in coal mines where only their eyes and lips may be visible. The conclusion expresses hope that awareness can be raised and change can be made to end child labor.
