Child Labour in Lebanon

The children working in agriculture are exposed to sharp tools, hefty loads of material, and dangerous pesticides.

Agriculture

In Lebanon there are some of the worst forms of child labour. Children in Lebanon, especially girls, are planting in picking tobacco. These children are exposed to pesticides, and they are also exposed to musculoskeletal problems.

Child Laborers Working in Tobacco Fields

For over 100 years, cigarette manufacturers, and leaf buying

companies, have been paying children a low wage to work as

child laborers in the tobacco fields. They work as harvesting,

and planting the tobacco in the fields. The health risks of

tobacco growing threaten tobacco household members.

Parents who are forced to send children to fields instead of

schools witness an increase in hunger, stunted growth and

school dropout rates among children.
