Child Slavery with Rageh Omaar2007

[first lines]

Rageh Omaar:
[narrating] I've spent my working life traveling, reporting on some extraordinary events and places and people. But it's the everyday things I find myself thinking about. Logged in my memory are faces, the looks of people I've never actually met. And I'm thinking particularly of children: a boy I remember selling pomegranates on the streets of Kabul; a young girl who used to beg near my house in Johannesburg. I've always just accepted these children, the fact that they're there. And that they work. And that's that. But perhaps because I've children of my own now, I increasingly wonder about them, worry about them even, because I know with my journalist's hat on that each and everyone of them carries a story that would shine a light on the world we live in, and that that world today in the 21st century is a world full of children who still live and work as slaves.
