Child Labour
Child labour means to use a child in work which is not suitable for it. Child labour is the worst form of violation (4) of human rights. It is an illegal practice but our country has an staggering number of child labourers. They are deprived of the basic human rights like food, cloth, education, medical facilities, etc. When they are supposed to go to madrasah and school carrying madrasah/school bags on their shoulder, they are carrying the loads of the works. They work at various workplaces like restaurants, hotels, tea-stalls, engineering workshops, etc. Some also work as street hawkers and domestic helps. They are exploited and ill-treated. Their employers deprive them of their due payments. Some even are paid under rates. They work from morning till night in the hazardous environment, but are deprived of their employers' love and sympathy. They cannot manage to get nutritious food and sufficient cloth. As a result, they suffer from malnutrition (f) and get affected with a number of diseases. They lead a subhuman life. Child labour must be banned. The government should come forward to protect their rights and to develop living. The rehabilitation (2) of the children must be ensured by the government. Public awareness is necessary and mass media can play a vital role in this regard.
