FAKE REPORT ON CHILD LABOUR

In recent days, there has been a fake report posted on the Jackson blog PNG Attitude detailing an imaginary story of child labour in Papua New Guinea.

It is one report among many that seems to focus on the break-down of family. Please click.

CHILD PROSTITUTION IN PORT MORESBY

Let us get Papua New Guinea into perspective. There are no mines in which to employ children. Nor are there plantations for slave labour.

This is a laid back country where men and women do not work hard. All the more likely that children do not work hard.

Most children live in families. Village girls help their mothers to work in the gardens, carry vegetables from the gardens, look after little brothers and sisters, wash clothes and cook food.

They help their mother by sitting at the road side or market to sell vegetables and betel nut.

Mothers usually stay with their daughters for safety of child and money.

Boys have a more laid back lifestyle. Girls are being trained by their mothers to be married women with children. But working with mum is not child labour.

Where on earth would there be child labour as in the claimed report from International Labour Organization above?

There are girls and some boys involved in sex work. But 81% of boys and 74% of girls go to school. These are statistics from the Department of Education. Still there are problems. Please click:

SEX IN SQUATTER SETTLEMENTS

If this is a fake report, it may be part of a plan for the UN gays and lesbians to move in on this country to protect children.

Papua New Guinea and other Pacific nations have to be vigilant.

The report above does explain that the child labour is caused by poverty. But parents are still being given the blame.

We have to take care not to accept reports with statistics that appear to have been pulled out of the air.

Did you know that 91% of PNG men are violent?

There are 23.2% of women unfaithful to their husbands.

As well, there are 56% of men who give HIV infection to their wives. But there are 12.8% of women who infect husbands. And  95% of activist lesbians tell lies..

I just made those statistics up.
