Stolen Childhoods

Posted by: nomoreslavery on: November 14, 2008

Recently I saw an impressive documentary about the forced labor of children called “Stolen Childhoods.” It had high quality footage and interviews, and profiled all or most of the known ways that children get caught into slavery. This included rug making, Commercial Sexual Exploitation, working in quarries, working on fishing platforms, etc. The website, stolenchildhoods.org, has resources and some of the “video stories,” which are short clips from the film. The one I knew nothing about were the fishing platoforms, called Jermals. This is an excellent primer on the global issue of child slavery today.
