Child Labour

What is child labour? Child labour is when children are taken away to work for people, in some cases, parents give their children to child labourer recruiters to work say they can pay back there debt. The country with the worst child labourer numbers is India. Some negative effects of child labour are the children body have not fully developed to work and can lead to long term muscle strain or life long injuries. Another effect is that in order for a child to grow properly they need to have the right to play and be free but child labourers take that away from young children. Ways we can help put an end to child labour or trafficking is to create a petition or protest to the government and they will. Human trafficking goes against the laws of human rights.

NZ protesters flouting alert level 2 restrictions

People making a stand against racism during alert level 2. The prime minister supports the stand against racism but not the march that took place in Auckland. Herself and microbiologist Dr Siouxsie was disappointed that level 2 restrictions were flouted on Monday's rally.

Muller says NZ Black Lives Matter protests made mockery of Covid ...Jacinda Ardern' point of view is that she supported the stand against racism but did not support the march because if only one among the many protesters had covid-19 "just think what could happen because we've seen it before.
Winston Peters was against the march that was held on Monday. He said that the organisers of the protest should have been prosecuted. "If they condone that and there's no prosecution of the organisers of these two events then why are we not in alert level 1" says Winston Peters.

My opinion on this is that I obviously do agree with the message that the protesters were trying to deliver and trying to make a stand against racism, but just like the Prime Minister I do not support that over 100 people gathered together flouting level 2 restrictions and social distancing. If there was another outbreak of covid-19 there could have been a possibility we could have gone back to square one.

Life after lock down level 2

Teaching kids to tackle properly is key to safe rugby | London ...
It has been a long time a lot of us have left our homes. Kicking in to level 2 is really exciting,we can go back to school, and maybe get back into sport. A lot of restrictions have lifted since level 3, things I couldn't do in level 3 I can do now that we are in level 2. Something that I am looking forward to is seeing family, getting back into sport, meeting with friends, and getting out of the house. Now that we are in level 2, our lives may go back to normal or semi normal. Things I liked about lock down was we could learn from home online and we didn't have to wake up so early to go school. I am looking forward to life in level 2 lock down.
