Child marchers breathe new life into old U.N. agency

GENEVA (AP) — An exuberant group of children rescued from mines, sweatshops and servitude descended on Geneva today and inspired calls for the International Labor Organization to restrict child labor worldwide.

Carrying colorful banners and chanting, a group of 150 marchers was led into the U.N. European headquarters by 11-year-old Basudev Bhattarai, a former domestic servant from Nepal.

They livened up the opening of the annual meeting of the 174-nation ILO, which is considering a new world convention aimed at abolishing the most extreme forms of child labor.

"We must wash this black spot from the face of humanity without hesitation or delay," march coordinator Kailash Satyarthi of India told delegates.

Some critics say the ILO has outlived its usefulness, but the children's campaign helps to show that the oldest U.N. agency is still needed to stop labor abuses around the world.

Sponsored by the ILO, the U.N. Children's Fund, and other organizations, the campaign began in January in the Philippines and has included marches in 62 countries in Asia, Africa, North and South America and Europe.

"Go, go, global march!" the children shouted Saturday as they led more than 1,000 demonstrators through the streets of Geneva.

Child labor tops the agenda of the two-week meeting, which brings together representatives of government, labor and management. The ILO draws up and monitors conventions on a wide range of labor issues.

The labor organization has called for new international legal standards on child labor that would halt slavery and slavery-like practices, forced labor and debt bondage.

The standards also would prevent children from being used in prostitution and pornography or any activity likely to jeopardize their health or morals.

The new child labor convention would call for criminal penalties, specify preventative measures and rehabilitation of child victims.

ILO surveys have found that one-quarter of all children ages 5-14 are working, with many of them doing hazardous jobs.

"Children are employed simply because they are cheaper and more compliant than adults," said Neal Kearney, general-secretary of the Brussels-based International Textile, Garment and Leather Workers Federation.

Newly freed Indonesian labor leader Muchtar Pakpahan, who was imprisoned from 1996 until last week on charges relating to civil unrest and alleged subversion, is also expected to attend the meeting.

Other speakers were to include Mary Robinson, the U.N. human rights chief, and Venezuelan President Rafael Caldera.

University of Vermont students protest staff wages with 3-day-old hunger strike

BURLINGTON, Vt. (AP) _ A dozen University of Vermont students entered their third day of a hunger strike Wednesday in support of salary increases for clerks, janitors and other service workers on campus.

The students have been camped out since Monday in front of the administration building, wearing white ``hunger strike'' sashes and taking turns sleeping in a tent.

``Is it hard? Yes. I'm hungry,'' said Max Tracy, 20, a sophomore anthropology major from Northbrook, Ill. ``But I'm hungry for justice.''

According to the students, about 250 clerks, janitors, housekeepers and other service workers at the school don't make a livable wage, which the state's Joint Fiscal Office has defined as $13.62 per hour.

School spokesman Enrique Corredera said service workers on campus start at $10.60 an hour, which will increase to $10.75 in July.

University President Daniel Mark Fogel said the wages are competitive.

``Our lowest-paid employees receive wages and total compensation (salary plus benefits) that are highly competitive in relevant local markets,'' he said in a statement.

The hunger strikers were taking water and juice. One student nibbled salt.

The hunger strikers had not experienced any serious health problems by Wednesday.

``Hopefully, we can get them to reconsider their approach,'' Corredera said.

Long ignored in Caribbean, domestic violence an issue in Trinidad

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad (AP) _ The abuse suffered by Indravani Ramjattan at the hands of her husband finally came out in the open when she went on trial for killing him.

Unfortunately for her, it served the prosecution as evidence and led to her conviction and death sentence for murder.

Domestic abuse has long been ignored in the Caribbean, and Ramjattan's own lawyers made little of her suffering in defending her.

They never mentioned she was forced by her family to marry Alexander Jordan at age 17. They didn't bring up her frequent bruises, the rapes or the time she was beaten unconscious with a piece of wood in front of her children. The jury never heard how Jordan lined up the children against a wall and asked them whether he should kill their mother.

But the case attracted the attention of outsiders. Women's advocacy groups like U.S.-based Equality Now took up her cause. Britain's Privy Council, the highest court for much of the English-speaking Caribbean, ordered an appeal and, in a landmark ruling in October, a local tribunal reduced the charge and overturned Ramjattan's death sentence.

It was the first time that ``battered wife syndrome'' was used as a defense in this country, and possibly the Caribbean.

The case brought a flurry of soul searching among Trinidadians and led the government to begin trying to help battered women.

``We have a culture of machismo,'' said Selwyn Ragnoonan, director of the Population Program at the Ministry of Social and Community Development. ``It's in everything we do _ how we must walk, how we must talk, how we must treat our women.''
