China has unveiled its new human rights initiative that should be put into practice starting this year. There are several clauses that specifically deal with children which is a huge step forward for the biggest population in the world. Highlights include the prohibition of child labour which is a huge victory in itself. There are also provisions dealing with cracking down on child abduction and the human trafficking of minors. This is the first time that China has proposed such human welfare changes and one can only hope that putting them into practice will be done swiftly and without much resistance from the general population.
