Headline and copy textWe can’t let this happen even one more month.Child labour is more than a problem. It’s an epidemic affecting 13 million children in India under 14 years old. Work for those being forced to work.
DescriptionChild labour is a growing issue affecting millions of children and families across the globe. This is especially true in India where 13 million children are forced into working. These children are put to work in ways that drain childhood of joy and crush the right to normal physical and mental development, and often interfere with children’s education. Worst of all, they’re often placed in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. Save The Children (India) believes this absolutely cannot continue. Not even one more month.
