soupsoup:

Child laborers making soccer balls for Nike for pennies or in some cases nothing at all. Child labor is widespread in India, with companies like Mitre and Nike exploiting children who should be in school but instead are forced into work because of debts that their family has incurred. Known as debt bondage, this form of child slavery gets passed from generation to generation. The cycle of poverty continues as children are unable to better themselves with education.

American corporations like Walmart sell products like these, despite policies that express zero tolerence for child labor.

Imagine your own child having their whole future taken from them.

Do something about it.
