Pope Francis called for the
end of the "plague" of child labour during his general audience
in St Peter's Square on Wednesday.
"Ten million children are forced to work in conditions of
degradation, exposed to forms of slavery and exploitation, such
as abuse, mistreatment and discrimination," Francis said.
"I hope that the international community can expand the
social protection of minors to weaken this plague".
The pope returned to his usual activities on Wednesday
after clearing his schedule to rest up Tuesday, having suffering
what the Vatican called an "indisposition" Monday following a
gruelling Sunday of prayer with Mideast leaders.
