        "Unfortunately, the owner of the business where I worked told us
that it is America who asks us to enslave the children.  American people
like the cheap carpets, the rugs, the towels that we make.  So they want
bonded labor to go on.  I appeal to you that you stop people from using
children as bonded laborers because the children need to use a pen
rather than the instruments of child labor."

Iqbal Masih, Reebok Youth in Action Award acceptance speech, December 7,
1994
