1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,799 Good morning, we are Irene Hernando and Carlos La Peña. 2 00:00:03,080 --> 00:00:06,339 We are representing Los Altos School from Manzanares El Real in Madrid. 3 00:00:07,139 --> 00:00:10,699 We are reunited today with the purpose of searching possible solutions 4 00:00:10,699 --> 00:00:13,939 to one of the most important problems in our society, 5 00:00:14,179 --> 00:00:15,859 child work and child exploitation. 6 00:00:16,199 --> 00:00:18,339 We have titled our presentation, 7 00:00:18,839 --> 00:00:21,440 It's not just figures, it's a reality. 8 00:00:22,219 --> 00:00:26,600 We have decided our campaign to concentrate on the young people 9 00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:29,300 in order to make them aware of the problems 10 00:00:29,300 --> 00:00:31,980 and provide them a critical mind. 11 00:00:32,380 --> 00:00:34,820 Child exploitation, also known as child slavery, 12 00:00:35,179 --> 00:00:38,159 is the use of children in formal or dangerous jobs 13 00:00:38,159 --> 00:00:40,899 for the family economy or other ends. 14 00:00:41,159 --> 00:00:45,240 This definition was an inflection point for us to start searching. 15 00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:48,920 We have noticed that international organizations 16 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,299 haven't even bothered to define and limit this term. 17 00:00:52,899 --> 00:00:55,899 So in response to this, we have started searching 18 00:00:55,899 --> 00:00:59,520 to find out what people thought and knew about this subject. 19 00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:04,579 In this strange season, it's really hard to interview people around us, 20 00:01:04,799 --> 00:01:07,640 so we have created a survey in Google Forms. 21 00:01:08,180 --> 00:01:13,920 In the image zone, we can see some of the ideas we collected from our community. 22 00:01:14,239 --> 00:01:17,260 After some research, we have come to the realization 23 00:01:17,260 --> 00:01:21,400 that there's not an official definition for the term itself. 24 00:01:22,120 --> 00:01:28,379 We believe that it's important for the international organizations to come to terms with the definition, 25 00:01:28,760 --> 00:01:31,500 so we can create limits around this concept. 26 00:01:32,079 --> 00:01:37,299 Here we can clearly see how we have divided this problem in five separate categories. 27 00:01:38,180 --> 00:01:43,700 To solve a problem, it's important to now eat down its causes and consequences, 28 00:01:43,700 --> 00:01:46,900 so we can later solve it in a more effective way. 29 00:01:46,900 --> 00:01:53,200 Also, we have kept in mind the importance of the SDOs in each category. 30 00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:56,620 The first category is consumerism. 31 00:01:56,959 --> 00:02:01,819 Consumerism is one more concept that is talked to us like a value since we're kids. 32 00:02:02,159 --> 00:02:05,180 We develop some kind of necessity around consuming. 33 00:02:05,799 --> 00:02:10,580 Many agents, such as the constant publicity, programmed obsolescence, 34 00:02:10,580 --> 00:02:17,080 and the continuous coming out of new products that almost push us to consume unconsciously. 35 00:02:17,539 --> 00:02:20,979 Next, we have got the contribution to the beauty standards. 36 00:02:21,159 --> 00:02:25,800 Companies create campaigns in which the main point of attention is the product, 37 00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:31,099 being used by an ideal person that fully represents the occidental beauty standards. 38 00:02:31,819 --> 00:02:38,639 We, in a completely unconscious way, start to relate the surreal idea of perfection with the product 39 00:02:38,639 --> 00:02:43,099 so we start to feel an irrational desire of unknowing it. 40 00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:48,259 In third place, we have the anonymity in the directory of large companies. 41 00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,879 We, as a society, should start demanding for those people 42 00:02:52,879 --> 00:02:55,419 who are responsible of these systematic mistakes 43 00:02:55,419 --> 00:03:00,699 to be consequent of their actions and become an active part of the solution. 44 00:03:01,379 --> 00:03:03,080 Continuing with the childhood robbery, 45 00:03:03,460 --> 00:03:07,080 these companies don't have any laws that limit this kind of work 46 00:03:07,080 --> 00:03:12,860 so they can freely hire minors who are forced to spend their childhood working inside factories. 47 00:03:13,099 --> 00:03:16,419 Next, we have the dehumanization of figures. 48 00:03:17,159 --> 00:03:23,659 A good way of changing this would be trying to name some of the people who are part of these big numbers, 49 00:03:23,960 --> 00:03:31,780 so we can remember that behind every number there are names, surnames, stories, faces, emotions, etc. 50 00:03:32,240 --> 00:03:36,900 With the help of our community, we have collected possible solutions to each problem. 51 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:44,919 Later, we will go deeper in the different promoting methods we have used to promote our campaign inside and outside our school. 52 00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:49,759 It's not enough for us just to wish for everything to change. 53 00:03:50,039 --> 00:03:53,379 We have to make a change for things to actually change. 54 00:03:54,159 --> 00:03:58,840 To conclude, we have taken the risk of actually defining this term. 55 00:03:59,199 --> 00:04:02,659 We hope we have given it the importance it really has. 56 00:04:02,780 --> 00:04:05,919 First, we want to start with the definition of work. 57 00:04:05,919 --> 00:04:11,219 In our native language, Spanish, the word work comes from the Latin, tripalium. 58 00:04:11,500 --> 00:04:15,780 Tripler means torture, pain causing, torment, etc. 59 00:04:16,620 --> 00:04:21,779 Infant, from Latin, infantis, means the one who doesn't talk. 60 00:04:22,560 --> 00:04:28,740 Child work, any and all activity done by children that keeps them from their natural rights. 61 00:04:28,740 --> 00:04:36,360 It is important for the work of SDOs to not end in a project, but to go further and organize real actions. 62 00:04:37,199 --> 00:04:45,699 Thanks for your attention. We are really excited to see your work perspective in order to search for an effective solution to this really big problem. 63 00:04:45,699 --> 00:04:53,660 Finally, we would like to thank the UNESCO and the Red PEA for giving us the opportunity 64 00:04:53,660 --> 00:04:59,100 of being an active part of the solution of one of the biggest problems in our nowadays 65 00:04:59,100 --> 00:05:00,000 society.
