The Tiny Bread Earner's in Local Trains

 


The Tiny Bread Earner's in Local Trains
One in every eleven children in our country is involved in some sort of work, resulting in the increase in child labor. for a little as ten rupees a day. children are not going to schools and slaving for hours.
                        The child named Vinayak sells hair clips and mobile cases in local trains from Andheri to Borivali every day. it cost around Rs.5 to Rs 10. What is the matter of concern is that the child whose age is not less than 10yrs old , does that child even understand the value of the money that he is earning.
                        Interacting with Vinayak revealed that his parents are also  on to the same business and they themselves are encouraging him to do so. When these tiny tots should be going to school and playing , their soft hand are overused  and exploited by their employers/parents. though our constitution grants freedom and right to play and education to every child, we find so many children enslaved in houses, tea shops, and factories doing menial jobs . The laws governing child abuse generally do not help them as there is no body to fight for their causes. The factory owners find cheap labor in these children.
                        These children are the sole bread winner for their families and helpless to raise their voice against the injustice done to them. The only help lies in the voluntary organizations and government.
