Welcome to New Designs' Focus section. We are pleased to launch this new area with a look at child labor, and in particular, the life and work of Iqbal Masih.

Young Citizens: The Landmark Achievements of Brazil's Social Movement for Children's Rights by Caius Brandão During the aftermath of the military regime in the '80s, Brazilian society came to grips with the poverty and violence its children had fallen victim to. This is the remarkable story of how the National Movement of Street Boys and Girls in Brazil organized, fought for their rights, and ultimately provided a model for street youth in the United States.
