خروج مدارس من الخدمة رفع عمالة الأطفال نسبة 20 بالمئة
2017/01/29
At 12 years old Omar* suddenly found himself responsible for his family and having to work to support his mother and younger brother after his father was killed in the conflict and his elder brother joined an armed group. Recently Omar* started working in a fuel market in northern Syria where he is suffering so much because of the difficult work and the dangerous environment, yet he has to keep on working because it is a profitable job and it is the only way he feels that he can meet his familyâÂÂs needs. So every day he goes to the market with his bucket and sponge to collect some of the fuel that has spilled onto the ground; using the sponge he soaks up the fuel, squeezes it into his bucket and sells what he has collected at the end of every day. There are hundreds of children doing the same as Omar every day; Save the Children has helped many to return to school by supporting their families with food baskets, conducting awareness raising campaigns and re-opening schools but because of the deteriorating situation in Syria unfortunately there are still many other children who have no choice but to give up their education and to work in incredibly dangerous environments.
بينما أعلن رئيس غرفة الجنايات بمحكمة النقض أحمد البكري عن ارتفاع كبير في عمالة الأطفال في الأزمة نتيجة ظروف عدة منها خروج مدارس عن الخدمة، قال رئيس القسم الجزائي في كلية الحقوق بجامعة دمشق عبد الجبار الحنيص: إن عمالة الأطفال ارتفعت إلى نحو 20 بالمئة.
ورأى البكري إن هناك الكثير من الأطفال انقادوا إلى العمل ولو كان شاقاً نتيجة الظروف المعيشية السيئة ولاسيما الذين تراوحت أعمارهم ما بين 10 إلى 16 سنة.
من جهته قال الحنيص: إن هناك آباء يؤثرون ذهاب أبنائهم إلى العمل بدلاً من المدارس، موضحاً أن الغرامة المفروضة في القانون غير كافية وهي تتراوح ما بين ألفين إلى 10 آلاف.
وأضاف الحنيص: إن الغرامة تشجع على إجبار الآباء لأبنائهم على العمل ولو أنه شاق، مشدداً على ضرورة تشديد العقوبة لتصل إلى الحبس ولو لشهر لكل أب يجبر ابنه دون سن الثامنة عشرة على العمل.
