Children’s work with a modern cyber flavor

Childhood experienced a bitter history of abuse and exploitation to work in harsh conditions that varied between difficult professions and fields requiring great physical strength and between working hours of twelve or more, without providing any means of protection and even financial compensation compatible with lethal the risks they are exposed to in their lives. As young people who take advantage of their poverty, periods of colonialism, etc., to achieve great industrial revolutions without great resources between the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
Then the human world began a long history of fighting against this phenomenon that physically and mentally abuses childhood, as a result of which a change began in the explicit abuses to which children are exposed, and the world began to go through a phase of global differences in the number and form of child labor, and the fact is received a completely different course after the General Assembly of the United Nations signed the Convention on the Rights of the Child in 1989, which is the largest ratification of all countries, and in the same year the Universal Declaration on the Rights of the Child was issued, according to which the world began a new turn in discussing and issuing a series of international and Arab charters and conventions. Child labor, the most famous of which was issued by the International Labor Organization, starting with Conventions 5, 138 and 182 to limit exploitation, completely eliminate child labor in all circumstances that expose it to danger and abuse, and leave education persons under 15 years of age.
Despite all the efforts, the statistics still show that the world must stand up to protect its children and the dream of its tomorrow. Despite the reduction in child labor rates, approximately 168 million children between the ages of 15 and 17 still work in harsh conditions and are subjected to severe abuse, particularly across the African continent.
Perhaps this is due to various circumstances such as the rate of poverty and economic growth, as well as the crises and conflicts that individual countries live with, in parallel with the lack of culture, neglect of education, etc., which have called the world to adopt concepts and new forms of protection for children who are in working conditions and spaces, between the adoption of terms related to work Positive or educational activities for children, which aim at training and paid volunteering in jobs that are appropriate to his age and the nature of his structure. and help him learn, develop, gain values ​​and enjoy himself without hardship or exploitation.
And between attempts to protect working children under the age of 15 in separate regions and countries by restricting information about these children and their areas of work, providing health and psychological care for them, and obliging employers to do so while setting specific working hours that do not conflict with study conditions , injury protection and many more to match the efforts put into this.. File with the global reality and its changing conditions.
With all of the above, our world has entered a new development and revolution represented by technology that has imposed digital reality on all of us, and opened new doors of abuse and abuse to children in multiple forms that have once again encouraged the world to look at things from a new and different angle in terms of protection of children from abuse and exploitation in virtual reality, which reflects on social reality, whether we like it or not.
In terms of the social responsibility of individuals and civil society as a whole, a number of initiatives and support for electronic child protection networks have been launched, which in one way or another has been accompanied by major international efforts to enact and legislate laws and policies to work on the electronic protection of children in all forms and from all abuses, but also to preserve their privacy on the Internet, which is evident in the American law COPPA.
Therefore, all digital websites and applications have committed to set standards and conditions that users will agree to before publishing their personal pages and publishing their messages electronically. And others, and some applications may prohibit any appearance of persons under the age of 15 or their content, in order to protect them from cybercrime abuse, harm, harassment, theft of their information or exposure to a form of exploitation or human trafficking.
However, by simply wandering between the pages of social networks and smart applications, we will notice a clear and noticeable violation of all the standards and conditions set by these platforms themselves, and related to them in order to maintain their society and protect our youth in the cyber reality. , and by pressing the button again, you can notice the irrational and sometimes unpleasant spread of children under 15 years of age. Provision of inappropriate and non-specialized content, continuously throughout the day, and by clicking again, you can see the exploitation and exploitation of a child in adulthood. content in a way that humiliates him and exposes him to unprecedented physical and psychological risks and tramples on his privacy in general, and the privacy of his body in particular.
Unfortunately, those who force a child to engage in such electronic abuse may be responsible for the parent’s care of the child for financial gain or take advantage of the child’s unconscious desire to do so. Content that offends the child and exposes him to sexual and physical exploitation, extortion and trafficking behind the veil of electronic presence in the virtual world. reality, the social acceptance of it and the dissatisfaction of viewers with children’s cyber presence without control and connection.

And comparing the above with the concept of prohibited child labor, which is represented in any job that puts a heavy burden on children, endangers their lives, denies them an education or even represents a double burden between studies and work, i.e. what is represented in acts of child abuse such as forced labor , slavery, trade or use In pornography and illegal activities, or any work performed by a child under the legal age, and so on, we will find ourselves facing the phenomenon of child labor , abuse and exploitation in a clear and clear way, but it is the most common accepted and socially hushed up, except in rare cases that society may see as violating its general beliefs and values.
This proposal is a simple awareness of what we can see from the exploitation of our children and we accept it with good intentions and encouragement for our youth. Much in his life, and also a call to reject those contents that rely on child labor, exhaustion and exploitation unconsciously, even if it is based on the child’s desire and will to do so, especially those who depend on humor and entertainment at the expense of children and mistreat them, and slander them in front of society without it is important to calculate the consequences, i.e. what they could be exposed to as the result of the content and material they provide in cyberspace, and what they might face in their future as a result of what affects their psychological and mental development today, and also the issue of academic attention to this issue and the existence of specialized psychological and oriental studies in this sense and solutions For treatment, it can be an incentive for civil society to provide rehabilitation centers for d to deal with their presence on these platforms if necessary, and to consider the existence of specialized legislation in relation to child labor electronically and in particular its caveats and conditions. Reality is a necessity, protecting the future is a duty, and the children of humanity are always and forever the joy of today, the hope of reality and the pride of the future.
