STOP CHILD LABOUR

I refer my readers to www.stopchildlabor.org. 
Eva Longoria talks about child labour in agriculture. we all need to campaign against child labour. when you sit down to eat that delicious meal, ask yourself if most of the ingredients were produced by a child toiling hours in an unimaginable condition. The world might be waiting to hear your voice. Speak Out, do not be silent. We have been quiet for decades.its time to stand up and defend our leaders of tomorrow.

BBC News of 24/10/2010

7 Romanian children between the ages of 9 and 16 were found working in a field in Worcestershire. They were found with adults and the children were found picking spring onions.
Talk about child labour in the developed world and 21st century. Its shocking.

RAPE AND GENDER

See  http://udolawnorthumbria.blogspot.com/
I strongly believe the law is right because a man cannot be penetrated. What can a woman penetrate in a man? I say nothing. If there is any penetration to be done on a man, then definitely it has to be done by a fellow man. Also it sounds so odd hearing that a man was raped.I have never heard of that.

fairtrade

Free trade is the problem. Fair trade is the solution. Currently the world trade is dominated by the ideology of economic globalization. This system of trade is controlled by a handful of transnational corporations operating outside any domestic or international rules except business-friendly trade agreements and this is creating deep and entrenched inequalities in its wake.

The coffee trade is a perfect example of these inequalities. A handful of giant agro-food corporations dominate the trade, amassing all the huge profit and leaving the actual workers underpaid in chemical polluted and impoverished communities. Coffee is bought at the cheapest price and resold at the highest.

Fair trade is the alternative (a saviour if I may use the word) but the consumers and coffee lovers has a big task of building an equitable world trading system where those who toiled to bring us coffee enjoy good and safe working environment, democratic rights and provide for their families and communities.

This could be achieved by the ethical consumer’s choice movement which we can practice in our day-to-day lives, by buying according to our values.
