“Nearly one billion women and men, a third of the world's workforce, are either unemployed or unable to earn enough to keep themselves out of extreme poverty. There are 100 million new entrants into the labour market each year. Up to 90 percent in some regions are in the informal economy. 180 million kids are engaged in the worst forms of child labour. Put it all together and it is not only morally unacceptable, but politically dangerous” MenWorldYearsChildrenEnoughKidsTogetherFormPovertyMillionsEconomyWorstDangerousPercentMen And WomenLaborThirdsExtremesBillionsEngagedLabourRegionsUnemployedWorkforceExtreme PovertyChild LabourDecent Work Author:Juan Somavia
“It was a dangerous profession I had chosen ... because no one likes a funny kid. In fact, adults are scared silly of them and tend to warn children who act out that they are going to wind up in prison or worse. It is only when you grow up that they pay you vast sums of money to make them laugh.” ChildrenFactsKidsGrowsPayLaughingGrowing UpDangerousHumourWindAdultsPrisonScaredProfessionSillyLikesChosenFunny Kid Book:Leaving home: a memoir Source: Leaving home: a memoir
“When I take kids into the woods, I tell them, "What we're going to do today is going to be incredibly dangerous." And you just see 20 smiles go up. "But, we're also going to learn to look after each other, who to work together and who to understand and manage that risk." That's what it's about, you don't empower kids if you don't expose them to risk.” IfsLooksKidsTodayTogetherRiskDangerousWoodsManageEmpoweringWorking Together Author:Bear Grylls
“I tell kids not to be on the Internet. It's dangerous. It's not fun. It wastes your life. You should just be outside playing sports, instead of sitting in front of any type of screen.” ShouldKidsFunSportsDangerousFrontsTypeInternetWasteSittingScreensPlaying Sports Author:Miley Cyrus
“"Natural" is a very dangerous word to use about sexuality ... Our society's notions of normality are completely fake and meta-trendy, since they rely on the changing standards of superstition, religion, Christianity and gender bias to define themselves. Americans, in particular, exhibit very childish reactions to sexual practices that are new to them, much like little kids who are offered a vegetable they haven't seen before: "That's disgusting!" "But darling, you haven't even tried it!"
