Victim of Child Labour
Victim of
Child Labour,
The
problem facing a female
child starts at birth, especially in this
part of the world where
female children are not
seen as the fathers choice, sixty-five percent of female discriminations start from
the labour ward. The countenances of most fathers do
change at the cry of a female baby. May be because of the expenses of taking
care of the girl child or the risk of upbringing, and maybe after spending so
much on the girl child, she will end up in a man’s home. These and all other
reasons are best known to men. Even in families blessed with both male and
female children, the male are always seen as the head. In many cultures, families
place more value on the education of boys than girls. If a family has to make a
choice between sending a boy or girl to school, a boy is preferred. Girls are
often the last to be enrolled in school and the first to be withdrawn from
class. Girls are more likely to be withdrawn from school in order to take on
domestic and child rearing duties. In other cultures, under aged girls are forced
into early marriage and early pregnancies, a negative experience with devastating
consequences for too many.
