In the United States, from now on, both the father and the mother will be considered parents, and the Department of Health has clarified the concept of "gender," writes CNN.

" The department continues the Trump administration's efforts to deny the existence of people who identify as transgender, non-binary, or intersex, which stands in stark contrast to the Biden administration's attempts to create more inclusive policies in healthcare and scientific research," the channel reported .

The document clarifies the concepts of “gender” as “female,” “girl,” “male,” and “boy,” in accordance with Trump’s executive order, titled “Protecting Women from Gender Ideological Extremism and Restoring Biological Truth in the Federal Government.” The terms “father” (male parent) and “mother” (female parent) are added.

It should be noted that for many years in America, the terms “parent 1” and “parent 2” have been used instead of “father” and “mother.” In 2011, the State Department explained this move by saying that the gender identification of parents has simply become outdated. “Son” and “daughter” have lost their traditional titles and have become simply “children.”

Human Rights Watch has warned about the deaths of child laborers in the United States, especially in agriculture.

According to Human Rights Watch, more than 450 child laborers have died in the United States in recent years. Of the deaths, 237 were in the agricultural sector.

The report notes that child labor deaths in the U.S. agricultural sector occur when the number of children working in agricultural and horticultural units is less than 6 percent. 

Human Rights Watch emphasized that this situation has been created due to the devastating consequences of the weakness of US laws and regulations in the field of child protection.

A Human Rights Watch report states that deaths of children working in the US agricultural sector are caused by extreme heat, long hours of work, the use of sharp and heavy equipment, and falls from dangerous heights.

According to the report, many children die due to exposure to pesticides and on tobacco farms.
