Terre des Hommes - Child Labour
In today’s world, around 85 million children are forced into labour. Victims of some of the worst forms of child labour,
they are recruited by force and reduced to slavery, often being subjected to prostitution. They become victims of human trafficking,
obliged to engage in illegal activities and must perform dangerous types of work. Their physical and mental health is affected and their ability to learn and socialise is destroyed, both of which have serious consequences on their future.

About the theme:
We want these designs to take on the role of a snapshot in time representing the 21st century and showing what is going on.
Baraq has heard about the situation in Qatar and of Ganesh, who died there at the young age of 16. Two months later, he was shipped home in a red coffin Each month, dozens of young Nepalese and Indian migrant workers from the world's poorest countries return home in their coffins.
Baraq has created this design for all migrant workers - in memory and honour of their deaths, and to motivate us living to make a change! These people are victims of the most extreme type of capitalism. A migrant worker works 15 hours per day and earns 4.99€ (eight dollars). If the situation of the workers does not change, it is increasingly likely that up to 4000 migrant workers will die in the upcoming 5 years They belong to their contractor and have give up their passports to them. They can no longer make decisions for themselves. They are forced to continue working, even if they don't want to work under such conditions! We cannot turn our backs on these facts. As a community, we are called upon to take over responsibility and strive for change in the migrant workers' countries of origin. This is why we, the Baraq team, have decided to support the Qatar migrant workers' countries of origin with donations.

Rerun the Vote
In 2010, FIFA awarded the 2022 World Cup to Qatar - a country with few protections for migrant workers who face injury and death every day. FIFA and Qatar have both pledged reform, but their record is full of broken promises.
Save lives, restore the game’s integrity and the trust of fans: tell FIFA to choose a World Cup venue where workers’ rights are respected. It's Time for FIFA to Rerun the Vote.
