  1. Geared towards a #teen audience.

    On the way to school, a boy is confronted by an enormous man whose hand grabs hold of his school bag and tosses it into the air. The hand pushes him towards a huge padlock, then forces him to enter through the keyhole: the schoolboy is imprisoned in a hazardous lock factory. Like the other children inside, he finds himself forced to operate a high-speed punch press. Struggling to follow the movements of the machine, he cuts off a finger. He tries to run away, but is recaptured.

    Back at the factory he starts to cough up blood after inhaling iron particles that will prove lethal: the child dies on the job. Coldly, the hand picks up his body and drops it in the box the padlocks are shipped in, symbol of his murdered innocence.

    How can we live with forced child labour? This #India / #Canada co-production is inspired by #Article32 of the United Nations Convention on the #RightsOfTheChild , which particularly upholds the child's right to be protected from economic #exploitation. An #AnimatedFilm without words for 12- to 17-year olds.

  5. As the Israeli regime begins more ground offences into #Gaza, the inevitable outcome will be more deaths of #Palestinians, including children of all ages. Yet despite this fact, it seems that the vast majority of people are desensitised to the deaths of children via conflict. How did we end up this way? I chat with social anthropologist Brian Milne on how child mortality has little impact in modern society.

  15. 🧵Have societies across the world regressed when it comes to the rights of children? We still see mass poverty, lack of education, and health care but when it comes to the safety of children, do we seem to care even less in this aspect? Looking at the acts of kidnapping and mass murder in both Ukraine and Palestine, is the life of a child less important? Are they simply numbers and statistics?

  17. There was a discussion on the radio just now, about proposals made by a government somewhere to ban under-16 year olds from social media.

    Now, whatever else about this proposal, banning young people from doing things has been famously effective in stopping them from doing and wanting to do the forbidden activity.

    Very clever. So smart.

  19. @Qldaah Imprisoning 10 year old kids and putting them in isolation is a terrifying policy. Most people wouldn’t treat a dog like that but Crisafulli wants to do it to kids. These people are cruel, barbaric savages.

  21. @CTHW Though a parent myself, I actually had no idea if some concept of #ParentsRights existed in Canadian Law. Only thing that came close was the right of parents to visit their biological kids in the event of divorce.

    Mainly, the #RightsOfTheChild were the main results of my search. Parents have a responsibility to care for their kids, but they are people like us and have #HumanRights.

    #KidsAreNotProperty - sad and disappointing that it has to be said in Canada.
