{"type":"rich","version":"1.0","title":"Chai Talk: Protecting Children from Child Labour in South Sudan","description":"On Chai Talk, hosts Moyo Jacob and Viola Elias discussed the growing problem of child labour in South Sudan as the country marked the World Day Against Child Labour.\n\nThe programme highlighted the increasing number of children working in the streets, in markets, at bus parks, and other public places instead of attending school. Many carry heavy loads, sell small items, wash cars, collect plastic bottles or beg for food and money.\n\nThe discussion examined how child labour deprives children of education, good health, childhood and future opportunities, while exposing them to exploitation, violence, abuse and dangerous working conditions.\n\nThe programme explored the reasons children are pushed into work, who is responsible for protecting them, and the roles of parents, communities and government institutions.","author_name":"Radio Miraya","author_url":"https://audioboom.com/channels/3891441-radio-miraya","provider_name":"Audioboom","provider_url":"https://audioboom.com","width":480,"height":95,"thumbnail_url":"https://audioboom.com/i/43698127/600x600/c","thumbnail_width":600,"thumbnail_height":600,"html":""}
