Saving Childhoods, Bringing Change!

- 

Child labour is an abhorrent activity which most nations in the world have deemed to be illegal. The forced employment of children in any form of work has been deemed by the world community as being against human rights. The definition of child labour has been carefully framed to protect children and not disrupt cultural practices unique to different nations. As per international law, work that impinges on the welfare of the child; be it in education, nutrition and safety, is considered illegal and immoral. The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child has clearly stipulated that work done by children under the age of 15 and any dangerous work done by children under the age of 18, is explicitly illegal. Despite these international laws, the practice and proliferation of child labour has continued to plague nations.
