Kurdish Children

 

 Here is a picture of the Kurdish children playing outside in one of their villages found at www.Google.com. You can click this link to go to the sight. Click here.


I chose to do a blog page on Kurdish children because children are my passion. I work with them now and I hope that I will be able to work with them when I graduate. Kurdish children are recently, and increasingly, losing their human rights by being forced into child labor. Because of this, the children (especially in Turkey)are suffering physically, mentally, and socially.
    These kids go so many extra miles to make some money. I read of an instance where a child was selling food on the side of the road, at midnight, just to make a little money. The police in Turkey to not approve of the children doing so. They say that they are a disturbance to the town and need to be taken off the streets. A lot of the children's parents end up in jail because of the government, so they have no choice but to fend for themselves.

Here is a picture of a small child who was forced into child labor. This picture was found at www.google.com

  Kurdish children and Turkish children do not have the same rights and you can clearly know the difference between the two when you see them. Turkish children have the opportunity to go to a well-off preschool, daycare, and or school. Unfortunately for the Kurdish children, they do not have the same opportunities. These kids are in no way protected by the government like the Turkish kids are.
    Although a lot of these children live not only a miserable life, but a poor life, they always seem to have a smile on their faces. They all have high dreams of being able to some day go to school and graduate and have high expectations of getting jobs like doctors, and lawyers and so on. It is very sad to see the way these children live.
