Save the Children Australia: Make it a Thing of the Past

“In an ideal world, children once forced into slavery, conflict and trafficking would be living enriching lives with the support of families and schools,” said Suzanne Dvorak, chief executive of Save the Children in Australia. “Children deprived of a playful, stimulating and happy childhood would be a thing of the past.”

Save the Children Australia is hosting a national exhibition to raise awareness of child abuse, slavery and neglect, issues that are often overlooked. The national exhibition started in July at the Southern Cross Station in Melbourne.
Next dates: 3 - 8 August: Westfield Carousel, Cannington; 21 - 30 August: Westfield Carindale, Carindale; 11 - 20 September: Westfield Bondi Junction, Bondi Junction.

Save the Children is hosting an online exhibition besides a print and outdoor advertising campaign.


The exhibition will display carefully selected items that represent some of the confronting issues facing children everyday. Dirty water, child soldiers, youth suicide, sexual abuse, malnutrition and lack of education are sadly a daily occurrence for many millions of children around the world – currently 300,000 children are being used as frontline soldiers in conflicts around the globe.
But these issues are not just affecting third world countries. The exhibit will have a strong Australian focus highlighting some of the alarming statistics with regard to childhood education and health. For example did you know that one in 12 Australian children live below the poverty line? And there is a 17 year life expectancy gap between Indigenous and other Australian children.

Myself I am againast cgild slavery/labour. I personally think it’s stupid and rediculous and It shouldn’t be happening in todays society with all the machines and that that we have.
These children didn’t ask for that life and therefore should not be forced by some big ego-tistic man or woman to do it.

Really touching!
31 % of children experienced bullying during childhood, a further 7 % were discriminated against and 14% were made to feel different/an outsider. 43% experienced at least one of these things during childhood.
We must really make this a thing of past and spread the message all over the world.
You must sent these ads to 11th International Concerned Communicator Award, its a social advertising award based in India.

there is no entrance fee. and there is chance to win US$11000. I think money doesnt matter more is to spread the message. it is best platform to do so.
