Why Do We Stop Child Labour
                     Why Do We Stop Child Labour?
BACK TO SCHOOL
• Child labour pervades in spite of the fact that 
India has passed a number of constitutional 
protections and laws on child labour, 
including the Child Labour (Prohibition and 
Regulation) Act of 1986. However, whether 
these laws are truly enforced for children 
engaged in works or not remains another 
question. 
• Poor access to quality education deprives the 
community of upward mobility and further 
decreases future chances of gaining more 
protected work. The reasons for school 
dropouts are many and include a lack of a 
captivating education environment in school, 
difficulty in understanding the medium of 
instruction, lack of motivation from the 
family, poor schooling facilities and frequent 
migration. As a result, many children are 
forced to work and ultimately never go 
back to school again. 
The factors affecting child labours are many for example children into rag picking are 
regularly exposed to cuts, chemical poisons and infections, and are also susceptible 
to diseases like cancer and tuberculosis. All of this is aside from the general poverty, 
harassment, substance abuse, and sexual violence they encounter on the streets. 
Therefore, to educate children from such rag picking community need to take into 
account the unique factors that have come to define their lives and support them. 
Impact of Child Labour:
It deprives children of their childhood.
Child labour robs children of their childhood, forcing them to grow up too fast. They 
miss out on the opportunity to play and learn. Child labour often involves hazardous 
work conditions that can lead to injuries, illness, and even death. Children who are 
forced to work long hours in dangerous conditions are more likely to acquire physical 
and mental problems. You can donate online and help children have a happy 
childhood. 
It interferes with children’ education.
Child labour is a violation of children’s rights, as it deprives them of their childhood 
and their right to education. Child labour often keeps children from going back to 
school. Even when they can attend school, their work interferes with their ability to 
focus and learn. As a result, they are likely to lag behind their peers academically. 
Additionally, it can lead to physical and psychological problems such as stunted 
growth, anxiety, and depression. With your support we can help educate children and 
ensure that children into labour get a chance to go back to school. Donate online to 
support. 
Working Children are at risk of exploitation and abuse.
Working children are vulnerable to being exploited and abused by their employers. 
They may be forced to work long hours for little or no compensation, in dangerous 
conditions, and with insufficient safety safeguards. They could also be abused 
physically, sexually, or emotionally which might put children at risk of injury and 
illness. When such children get a chance to go back to school, it provides them a 
safer and learning environment away from exploitation. Donate online to protect 
children from exploitation and abuse. 
Increases the likelihood of children engaging in risky behaviours.
 
Working children are more prone to engage in 
dangerous behaviours such as drug and alcohol 
abuse, as well as criminal conduct. As a result, it 
can have a long-term impact on a child’s life, even 
after they have left the workforce. 
Although there are a few positive small-scale 
efforts in different regional pockets by various non-
governmental organisations and individuals, we 
still have a long way to go to end Child labour in 
India. While there are several state and central 
government initiatives to educate children from 
marginalised communities, there are still many 
who have completely fallen through the cracks of 
India’s formal education system for examples the 
rag pickers. Nothing justifies sending a child to 
work instead of school. Join us in sending children 
back to school. Donate online to help educate 
children for a brighter and stronger nation.
