It’s thought provoking dilemma that millions of children under
age of 15 are pushed to work for livelihood. Such children are to work in very
crucial and deteriorating conditions to meet demands of society and ‘so called responsible’
ones. Reader of these lines cannot think the emotions of child labor while
working and looking other children who enjoy and go to school. Child labor
feels his/her ill-fated childhood while comparing with children enjoying their
time.
As per ILO, International Labor Organization, 216 million
children under 17 year of age are child labor. This count has proportion of 53%
in Asia and Pacific. Long term inferiority complex starts getting injected in
Child Labors from very first day childhood is lost.
ILO has declared child labor as illegal and has engaged
states to implement laws against this practice so that children must be given
the rights they deserve. Most unbearable problem of world is trafficking of
children for the sake of their supply towards slavery, begging, domestic
servants, indoor factory works, brick kiln works, shops assistance, road
hawking and fishing.
Children begging
has been extensive menace particularly in Asia and same is not seemed getting decline.
State authorities are not striving for eradication of child beggars’ roots.
Child beggars are also pre-trained from their families already in same earning
source and they are to keep themselves engaged in begging at every cost whether
deliberately or not. Begging is on the boom in Asia; India, Pakistan,
Afghanistan, Iran, Bangladesh, Bhutan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Uzbekistan and
Burma/Myanmar.
Domestic Servants
You will find girls of not more than 12 working as domestic
servant in houses of well-established communities. Domestic child servants are
to face very unwieldy tasks to complete, violence, exhaustion and hate.
