In the United States of America, people believe that child labor does not effect them, not knowing that the Persian rugs they put in their homes maybe made by children in small, dark, and cramped rooms. Some people do not realize that the basketballs children are playing with were made by children themselves. These are children that slave away and are paid little or nothing at all.

There are many people and groups that are concerned for these children and the conditions they face daily. Both politicians and anti-child labor groups wish to stop this. "UNICEF has emerged as a leader in the international movement against disabling, hazardous, and exploitive child labor" (UNICEF). These individuals and groups intend to stop purchasing products made in these conditions.

For instance, if a child does not produce enough in one day, they will be tortured or beaten. The employers also rape the boys and girls that are forced to work in such conditions. However, the emotional abuse is much worse. These children are made to believe that they are worthless and will never amount to anything but an enslaved worker for the duration of their lives. "Demand for child labor is so high that children are often sold by desperate parents. The children are forced to work long hours, day and night, unable to attend to school, and often subject to abuse and malnourishment" (Rugmark)...
