SEEL Paragraph On Child Labour

We had to create a SEEL paragraph in Social Studies on child labour and the human rights violated by being involved in it.
SEEL = Statement, Explain, Example, Link

Here is my paragraph:
Children in poor countries can be used for labour. Many parents go to money lenders for cash to be able to pay for medication and basic necessities. They can sell a child of theirs to the money lender, where they're then forced to work, majority in inhumane conditions. They do this to pay off their parents money that they borrowed and many spend years in slavery to pay off a debt that could be $100 and sometimes even less. Some children pay off the debt but aren't aware so that the slave master can keep the child for more labour. The labour they can be forced to do could be mining, carpet making and brick making. Due to the working conditions, they can be affected physically, such as the toxic gasses from the mines causing neurological after long-term inhalation. Carpet-making can result in cuts and blisters that usually aren't treated properly either. Countries involved in child labour are; Somalia, Sudan, Pakistan and Afghanistan. Countries which all have higher rates of poverty.

The slave masters that use the children are violating many human rights. There's countless human rights violated such as freedom of slavery, freedom from torture and degrading treatment, the right to rest and leisure and the right to education. They work from dawn to dusk, daily, with little breaks and some even chained. With little breaks and wounds going untreated, that's already 3 human rights violated and maybe more depending on how they're treated. Due to many children being enslaved for years, may become uneducated and uninformed as adults.
