The child labor problem in India is of a scale that is often not even acknowledged, because it is so invisible. We can look at factories where children work, but we don’t look at agricultural labor. We don’t look at domestic labor to the extent that India should be looking at. “There’s a sense of almost justifying it by saying that these children would otherwise be starving and therefore it’s fine to employ them – except that the conditions of that employment are dangerous.”Meenakshi Ganguly, Senior Researcher from Human Rights Watch.
I sincerely hope that we can enforce the existing laws in our country related to child labour.

The problem of child labor is more far fetched and invisible than one can imagine. In many instances, I felt there must be organizations taking care of abandoned children. There is both forced labor and unforced labor. The forced labor must be eradicated, hope no children suffer . But there are children who say there are no people to take care of them and hence they have to work for their bread. It is really sad to see such a prevalent issue. Hope the country can do something about this. Stop child labor of all kinds, and let organizations be formed so that abandoned children get a new lease of life.
Every day 1.8 to 2 Crores children are on the streets at risk, a target of ruthless traffickers and molding into adults with a sense of bitterness in them towards the rich and well-endowed. They need to be settled and educated. Fate of the countries, especially India – soon to have largest number of young people in the world – depend on emergency-level actions at all levels.
I appeal to people living abroad to take up the issue of rescue of street children (who become bonded laborers eventually) as much as possible in their circles. Thank you.
