This episode urgently requires funding from sponsors to expand its scope and impact.
While we have already captured compelling footage of children engaged in sewing activities in Gambia and street selling in Mexico, there is a pressing need to further explore the issue of child labor in diverse contexts across the globe.
With the additional funding, we will conduct interviews with child labor advocates and activists, providing firsthand insights into the challenges faced by children worldwide.
The funding will also enable us to film in five other countries, shedding light on the varied experiences and challenges faced by children subjected to labor exploitation.
This expanded coverage will allow us to delve deeper into the root causes of child labor, highlight the resilience of affected communities, and advocate for meaningful solutions to protect children’s rights and well-being worldwide.
With the support of sponsors, we can amplify our efforts to raise awareness, advocate for policy change, and empower communities to address the scourge of child labor effectively.
