Child labour
A Socially Accepted
Crime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A CHILDS CRY
They wake up every morning
Before the light of day.
Having to go to work,
There's no time for play.
They're treated unfairly,
And being paid low wages.
Paid less than adults,
Because of their ages.

There's no time for school,

They don't have an education.
Don't know their ABS's.
What a frustration!

What is child labour ?

Child labour refers to the employment of
children in an industry of business,
specially
when illegal or considered exploitative in
any work that is mentally , physically ,
socially or morally dangerous and harmful.

A CASE STUDY
I WOULD HAVE DIED OF
HUNGER
In January this year, hoping to make some money,
16- year old Babu Lal Sahariya left his home in
Sakara village in Southern Uttar Pradeshs Lalitpur
district and headed for the jungles of the adjoining
state of Rajasthan. This was his eighth trip. His new
job would require him to walk 30 km everyday
grazing cattle in return for two meals and RS.2000 a
month. Babu Lal is one of hundred children belonging
to the Saharia tribe from the district, who work as
bounded labourers in the jungle of Madhya Pradesh
( MP ) and Rajasthan.

Its really miserable!!!

Sahariyas,one of the 75 scheduled tribes
in the country classified as particularly
vulnerable tribal groups are now so
desperately poor that families have been
pushing their children into modern day
slavery in hope of saving them from
STARVATION in exchange for paltry
sums ranging between Rs 2000 and 6000
a month.

Causes of child labour

Babulal left his village to serve his
family and just to earn Rs. 2000 per
month.
Poverty is one of the main cause of
child labour.
Lets look into other causes of child
labour now.

Causes of child labour

Parental illiteracy
Illiterate parents do not realize the
need for a proper physical, emotional
and cognitive development of a child.
As they are uneducated, they do not
realize the importance of education
for their children.

Over population
Most of the Asian and
African countries are
overpopulated. Due to
limited resources and more
mouths to feed, children
are employed in various
form of work.

Poverty
Many a time poverty
forces parents to send
their children to
hazardous jobs.
Although they know it
is wrong, they have no
other alternative as

Unemployment of elders
Elders often find it difficult to get jobs. The
industrialists and factory owners find it
profitable to employ children. This is so
because they can pay less and extract
more work. They will also not create union
problem.

Orphans

Orphans do not find

anyone to support them.
Thus they are forced to
work for their own living.

A Heart Touching Video

free from exploitation and receive
free and quality education.
NGOs are also going to houses,
organizing camps to collect
money for the education of
illiterate children and are
providing them things with the

Step that government

is taking and should
take to prevent it?
As child labour is a very serious issue
government have taken many steps to
prevent it.
Government is sending People to start
free of cost and quality education to the
children.
They can provide free stationary, books
and uniform too.
Politicians should make laws to prevent

Government can build some

houses that are particularly made
for that child who is treated as a
labour so that they can give them
education.

Reduction of chronic poverty

through broad-based economic and
social development.

Rehabilitation by
providing them with
essential services they
may need like- food,
shelter, health care etc.
Affording viable
alternatives such as extra
tuition, apprenticeship, pre
vocational training,
sheltered workshop and
many more.

People working in this field.

Many people in our community are working to
eradicate child labour completely from our
society.
For example A lady in Shakti Khand 4 Indirapuram is
conducting free classes for under privileged
children.
One more lady in Vasundhara Sector 9 nearby
our school is also conducting similar classes.

Lets join hands and fight against

Child Labour. Lets take Oath.
We DPSGvians take the oath that we
will keep an eye on shops, industries
and other working places to curb the
child labour menace in the city.
If we will come across any child
labour cases, we will convince the
parents to admit the children to
school.

We will conclude by the words

Baccho se mat
kaam Karwao,
Nanhe Hathon
ko Dukh Na
Pahuchao.
