ERADICATION OF CHILD LABOUR
 Children carry bricks on their heads from the brick field to a truck. They earn $0.25 for every hundred trips. |
Priority be given to efforts for the immediate end of hazardous and exploitative child labour and to urgent support for education, so that children may acquire the knowledge and skills that can enable them to improve their lives. It also stresses the need for the basic services, social development strategies, income-generation measures and legal protection for children, their families and communities" |
Exploitation of children is the economic exploitation of the child. Over 300 million children around the world - in countries rich and poor - work and are often cut off from the community,denied rest and play and most of them are at risk from hazardous and exploitative labour including drug addiction and sexual abuse. Denied education and trapped in cycle of poverty ,their most basic rights, their health and even their lives are in precarious and jeopardy. GOSON believes that the single most effective way to protect children from hazardous and exploitative labour is to extend and improve education so that it will attract them towards a healthy living. It emphasizes and insists in the entire target area that, education is the best solution to over come this problem. Campaign has been launched against child labour in Urban, Rural and tribal areas.
To give these children access to education and vocational skills to help them succeed in the future, GOSONngo provides moral support to get primary and secondary school education, vocational training and academic enrichment. Also works on eradication of child labour with the collaboration of two national and global level networking organizations called CLAN and SACCS, based in New Delhi. Thousands of child laborers have been rescued from risk situations.
