"This resource will make students aware of the conditions of children in many international contexts and may encourage activism. Each situation is detailed to help students understand the difficult conditions of some children’s lives. The context and issues include life in a distant land, family structures and responsibilities, child labour, gender roles, and religious differences. This docunovel, translated from the Italian version, adds a new dimension to the biographies of Iqbal Masih, a young activist who drew global attention to contemporary child labour."--Ministry of Education website.
