Human Rigths

However, there are many other companies abused children, on the other hand, in some companies support children like McDonald Corporation. They support nutrition education program for children that recommends against eating hamburgers every day. The company develop knowledge of production to children, for example, they advised children how to eat making choice categorizes foods with a stoplight plan – green items for every day such as including poultry, fish, salads and low fat milk and yogurt., yellow item for no more than three times a week such as eggs, granola bars, peanut butter, pudding, ribs and whole milk, and red for only occasional eating such as butter and margarine, candy, ice cream and other desserts, mayonnaise and soda pop (Gibson 1992). This is one significant advantage of McDonald’s company to support children.

This may be true, but despite this support, there are many children worked instead of their studying. According to Richter (1990) many children age between 11 and 17 worked at fishing industries instead of educated. This fact, these children leave school to help their family income increasing as well as fishing industry get huge profits through the exploitation of children.

In conclusion, it is clear that well-known companies earn great profit from the exploitation of the children as well as women. Examples show that commonly most companies provide to workers specially children and woman the worst working conditions such as working in the water , carrying heavy loads and also working without safety equipment. In addition, human rights abuse which has working miners in working condition had negative effect for their health especially in women and children. Therefore, adverse health effects increase with the length of exposure to job conditions. Moreover, many world companies increasing profits is used child labor like working long hours with low wage. Furthermore, it could be suggested that governments should consider this kind of case and work with non-government organizations as well as known companies would raise minimum wage for women and children. And also governments should develop some policies to protect human rights such as to establish limits of working hours , increase overtime payment and so on.
