Tales of The Browbeaten

On 3rd May, 2019, the International Labour Organization, said almost half of Nigerian children are trapped in forced labour.
At least 43% of Nigerian children are trapped in various forced labor, despite international conventions banning it.

In various forms which includes; making children go hawking in streets, using them to beg for alms, sending them to go work as domestic servants, or sales persons in shops, etc. have they been used. This is one of the consequences, of the level of poverty in the country. A Poverty which is not an outright lack of money, but of devaluation of the currency and inadequate social amenities coupled with the fact that the available few, are worn out, owing to poor governance.

Violence against women is also another very evil act still present in our world today.
