      Not condoning child labor, but in these countries, aren’t the children better off with the labor option over no option? Just wondering how these children survive otherwise?

        fairphone is providing them with another option. so your argument just isn’t relevant. and i wasn’t talking about jobs, i was talking about slavery. they couldn’t work a job if they wanted to, or go to school, or whatever. child slaves make clothing and electronics for the west to suppress prices.

      This is cool. So I suppose you are posting this from a fair phone, or are you a hypocrite?
