  1. Why Do We Stop Child Labour?

  2. BACK TO SCHOOL • Child labour pervades in spite of the fact that India has passed a number of constitutional protections and laws on child labour, including the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act of 1986. However, whether these laws are truly enforced for children engaged in works or not remains another question.  • Poor access to quality education deprives the community of upward mobility and further decreases future chances of gaining more protected work. The reasons for school dropouts are many and include a lack of a captivating education environment in school, difficulty in understanding the medium of instruction, lack of motivation from the family, poor schooling facilities and frequent migration. As a result, many children are forced to work and ultimately never go back to school again. 

  3. The factors affecting child labours are many for example children into rag picking are regularly exposed to cuts, chemical poisons and infections, and are also susceptible to diseases like cancer and tuberculosis. All of this is aside from the general poverty, harassment, substance abuse, and sexual violence they encounter on the streets. Therefore, to educate children from such rag picking community need to take into account the unique factors that have come to define their lives and support them.  Impact of Child Labour: It deprives children of their childhood. Child labour robs children of their childhood, forcing them to grow up too fast. They miss out on the opportunity to play and learn. Child labour often involves hazardous work conditions that can lead to injuries, illness, and even death. Children who are forced to work long hours in dangerous conditions are more likely to acquire physical and mental problems. You can donate online and help children have a happy childhood. 

  4. It interferes with children’ education. Child labour is a violation of children’s rights, as it deprives them of their childhood and their right to education. Child labour often keeps children from going back to school. Even when they can attend school, their work interferes with their ability to focus and learn. As a result, they are likely to lag behind their peers academically. Additionally, it can lead to physical and psychological problems such as stunted growth, anxiety, and depression. With your support we can help educate children and ensure that children into labour get a chance to go back to school. Donate online to support.  Working Children are at risk of exploitation and abuse. Working children are vulnerable to being exploited and abused by their employers. They may be forced to work long hours for little or no compensation, in dangerous conditions, and with insufficient safety safeguards. They could also be abused physically, sexually, or emotionally which might put children at risk of injury and illness. When such children get a chance to go back to school, it provides them a safer and learning environment away from exploitation. Donate online to protect children from exploitation and abuse.  Increases the likelihood of children engaging in risky behaviours.

  5. Working children are more prone to engage in dangerous behaviours such as drug and alcohol abuse, as well as criminal conduct. As a result, it can have a long-term impact on a child’s life, even after they have left the workforce.  Although there are a few positive small-scale efforts in different regional pockets by various non-governmental organisations and individuals, we still have a long way to go to end Child labour in India. While there are several state and central government initiatives to educate children from marginalised communities, there are still many who have completely fallen through the cracks of India’s formal education system for examples the rag pickers. Nothing justifies sending a child to work instead of school. Join us in sending children back to school. Donate online to help educate children for a brighter and stronger nation. Join us. Together for children. For change. For life.
