Asian and Southeast Asian regions. Each region takes different precautions. Some areas they don’t use the number 4 in license plates, houses, they don’t have major events and parking lots even skip the number.

168 million, seems like quite a large number doesn’t it? What if I were to tell you that was the number of children under the age of 17 trapped in child labour worldwide? In 2016, despite the efforts we as a nation have made, child labour is still as prominent as ever. It is outrageous that a global issue as serious as this has not been addressed sooner and mended. Child labour in our day and age makes my blood boil, whether it is happening on our country’s doorstep or fellow nations it’s…
