                                                               CHILD   LABOUR

 DATE-September 27,2021

INTRODUCTION - Child labour refers to the employment of children in any work that deprives them of their ability to attend regular school , and that is mentally, physically,socially or morally dangerous and harmful.

Child labour is indeed a curse to our society and a crime against humanity.Although more prevalent in developing countries , it is definitely a universal phenomenon.Thousands of children all over the western world work in fast food centers ,gas stations,newspaper selling , cleaning of cars ,in garment and leather factories. They have to grind bricks and stones.They works as street hawkers.Sometimes i had seen that they become a pickpockets as well.They also work as labour in small factories and polish boots. They also work as male/female servants.

According to me ,child labour is considered as ‘FORCE LABOUR’ because children are rarely in a position to give free consent to any activities performed by them as most aspect of their lives are determined by adults.

HOW TO OVERCOME FROM THIS PROBLEM,

As my thoughts the government should rehabilitate the floating people by creating work opportunities for them to develop their living standard.Many people are rich in the society and they can help those poor people in various ways.The government should sanction more money for ‘ FOOD FOR EDUCATION PROGRAM’. More child homes should be established for deserted children. After doing all these , we can expect children enjoying their fundamental rights and a child labour free india.

THE REAL ACCIDENT WITH ME-

One day i am going to market ,suddenly a kid comes after us saying ‘Do you want cinnamon rolls? I have for sale!’ I immediately turned around and was outraged by the image that was in front of me. I stood looking at it trying to process it . I told someone who was with us “What is a kid doing working at these late hours here? He should be at home sleeping!”.

From my understanding many of the children who work and are exploited have no family, which pushes them to go to work in the streets ,mines etc. and to accept hard jobs for them. This should motivate us to try to help by either directly or indirectly reducing this.

CAMPAIGNS

Different countries have different campaign just like UNICEF has launched the campaign “TheUnescapeRoom” in order to support the eradication of child labour.

“USE WHAT YOU HAVE IN YOUR HANDS FOR HELP POORS,AND CHANGED THE WORLD”

SOME LINES FROM MY SIDE-

 *Child labour is child abuse.

 *Children are our future,let them grow.

 *Child labour is a social crime.

 *Give the child a pencil ,but not a plate to wash.

 *Child’s hands are too small to work.
