Child Labor

Below is a link to an example of someone documenting concerns of child labor. It is really affective and eye opening to hear talks like this one, especially while watching people walk by with everyday handmade products and even sitting across from your own products that could’ve been made my trapped children. Nobel laureate Kailash Satyarthi’s GoodWeave Intl. has discovered how to fight this human right issue. This Ted Talk is by Nina Smith, who is the Exec. Director of GoodWeave. What made the work of this video and Nina Smith effective in communicating its message was the amount of passion and seriousness that she spoke with. She also used many images of young children which really made it more powerful.
