Child Labour in India

 In India they have the largest number of child labours in the world and about 60 million children are thought to still be working as child labours. 70% of them work in agriculture, smaller of them work in construction and other industries. Recruiters go to really poor areas and they traffick children. 

In 1989, the United Nations adopted the convention of the rights of the children. The convention is split into 3 parts, the right to protect, the right to develop, and the right to participate. Child Labour has been around for generations and can be hard to eliminate, around the world people are working together to put an end to child labour. Ways that people do that is improving education for adults and children, community delevlopment, improving incomes and writing letters to the company and the governments about child labour.

Child labour is ruining our children's lives, and the children are missing out on opportunties to be able to learn properly, develop properly and losing their self - worth. If enough of people speak up about child labour then this would be an opprtunties that can but a stop to child labour for good. I think child labour is unfair for the children that are suffering because it hurts to see that these children are missing out the chance that they may never have. My thoughts on this is for people to speak up and put an end to child labour.!
