Virtual Child Labour:

  




          I am living in a society where everyone is hungry for money. Consequently, the air of the society has become thick and heavy. The people driven by their desires for a lavish and comfortable life have always been in search of the qanoon's treasure. Although few people have found those keys a few decades ago, there is a magic behind these keys. The magic is that everyone has to work day in and day out to shape the keys to open many doors of qanoon's treasure to get more.

           Do you know about those keys? Let’s think for a moment. Yes! These keys are Facebook, YouTube, machine learning, and artificial intelligence. I have observed that everyone in our society is busty like bees in manufacturing their keys to get more treasure. Even the North stars; children are also involved in this activity, which creates a new concept of child labor: “Virtual Child Labor. “As we know that nowadays, our society is shifting towards a luxurious one by leaps and bounds. As a result, every individual, including children, is adopting money as the way to exist in this lavish society . This way has proved to be the impetus for their eagerness. As man is greedy by nature. So, due to their lust for children are too excited to earn money quickly instead of going through a long process to achieve degrees for jobs. As they find it hard to live among their opulent peers which they are ready to do everything to earn money. Finally, they jump on the gun by using technology as a source to earn money, which makes them further vulnerable. They do not care for their safety to cost luxurious facilities in any way. It will not be in vain if I say they have a motive as follows:” Come what may! we have to

                Is not it a form of work where you are utilizing your energy, currency of the cell, in order to fulfill your propensity towards lavish facilities? Yes, your answer must be in affirmation. I opine that virtual child labor is a process where children are being compelled to work online by their lavish society and crave towards luxurious life despite having their basic necessities.

         Let me share a practical example that when we had two options to choose from _biology or computer as a leading subject in class 9th, thirty-three students chose computer as their leading subject. I set out an interview them about the reason behind this selection. I got bewildered as I heard from them,” We have chosen computer as our leading subject to earn as more as possible to lead an opulent life like Mark Zuckerberg, Bill Gates, e.t.c”.Furthermore, they added that it acts as fuel for them to achieve their most important goals(their yearnings for classical facilities)in a short period.

         Additionally, nowadays all and sundry of our society dedicate too much time to social media apps such as YouTube, Facebook to achieve fame by posting their picture and videos. It is what propels children to do such activities. Consequently, they play with fire by taking their beatific childhood as granted. At last, they give up their study and precious time gradually to such futile activities. Moreover, they flung themselves and their families into the pool of hot water.

          For instance, according to research on online child sexual exploitation by International  Justice Mission in a 2020 study titled sexual exploitation of Children in the Philippines,” Children are more vulnerable to   exploitation through online platforms, including harassment, forced labor, etc.”

        Likewise, there are so many events acting in black and white for the exploitation of the children. For example, there are a great number of occasions where children
