About [Edit]
Child Labor and the Global Village: Photography for Social Change is a team of 11 photographers who will be photographing child workers around the globe.
By photographing individual children in their worlds - their families, communities, countries - we hope to see behind the child labor label. Child labor is the result of a complex set of factors: poverty; lack of schools; poor health care; war; and many others. Solutions must meet the needs of individual children. We need to know who they are to know what they need.
Photos produced by the project are part of an exhibit that has traveled to the U.S. Congress, universities, schools, and other forums in the United States. Internationally, the photographs have been shown in Bangladesh. Other exhibits are planned. One story is included in a curriculum published by the Stanford University Program on International and Cross-Cultural Education. A book is planned.
Our Mission:
- To educate people about this complex issue
- To move people emotionally
- To motivate people to action
