English to Spanish: Child Labour and Photography Detailed field: International Org/Dev/Coop
Source text - English Photography is a powerful weapon in the war against child labour. Photos as evidence are irrefutable. In the beginning of the twentieth century Lewis Hine was already using his photographs to improve the destiny of child labourers. Unfortunately the impact of pictures diminishes in the eyes of the observer. They either become so normal, or are just too gruesome and people turn away. In Germany in 1958 Hanns Reich published the book, Children from many lands, later also published in other countries. Almost ten percent of the photos depict children working. At the time this would not have raised many eyebrows. Child labour was just part of life. Even today you will often see photos of child labourers without really seeing the problem. As a tourist in Ghana you can even buy postcards depicting working children - nice to send home.
Translation - Spanish La fotografía es un arma muy potente en la guerra contra el trabajo infantil. Las fotos constituyen una prueba cuya evidencia resulta irrefutable. Ya a principios del siglo veinte, Lewis Hine utilizaba sus fotografías para intentar mejorar el destino de los niños trabajadores. Desgraciadamente, el impacto de una fotografía se va apagando lentamente en los ojos del espectador. O bien se convierten en algo de lo más normal o, simplemente, resultan demasiado desagradables y los espectadores retiran la vista. En Alemania, Hanns Reich publicó un libro titulado “Children of Many Lands” (“Niños de muchas tierras”) en 1958, que apareció posteriormente en otros países. Casi el diez por ciento de las fotos muestran a niños trabajando; sin embargo, es probable que en aquellos tiempos esta visión no causara demasiado efecto, ya que el trabajo infantil era tan sólo una parte más del día a día. Curiosamente, todavía hoy en día pueden verse muchas fotos de niños trabajadores sin llegar a ver el problema real. Por ejemplo, en Ghana los turistas pueden perfectamente comprar postales de niños trabajando: un agradable recuerdo para enviar a casa.
