Child Labour....Complete Violation Of Human Rights.....

Amnesty International India

In 2006 July a group of 19 adolescent boys and girls from Kherwada block of Udaipur district were hired through a middleman to work in a cottonseed farm in Mehsana district of Gujarat. There, according to the older girls in the group, the owner of the farm and his partners sexually harassed three of them. When the girls resisted, some of the group members including one girl were severally beaten and thrown out of the field. With no money in their pockets, the group had to walk back for three days and two nights to reach home.
Approximately one lakh children from the tribal-dominated southern districts of Rajasthan are trafficked to northern Gujarat to work in cottonseed fields every year. For many years now, there have been reports of sexual harassment, physical and mental torture, long hours and harsh conditions of work, low wages, as well as unsafe and unhygienic living conditions on these farms. Every year there have been cases of deaths of children; in 2009 there were as many as 11 such reports. Some of these are from snake bites and exposure to pesticides; but more gruesome than these are the rape-and-murder reports.

I really dont understand why these cruel people are after the life of poor childrens......dont they have any right to survive in a dignified manner and have education and atleast a medium standard of living....why they are always subject to such humilation everytime...For records , many projects and plans have been made for them but the reality is completely different and horrible ! There should be a strict rule to apply upon until then India,s tomorrow will remain in slums and will depend on begging for its living.....
