Girl carrying stones



Some things can never be changed and child labour is one such issue, which never seems to end. Child labour is abundant in most of the third world nations. In India, most of the children below are often employed as domestic servants. Girls are the worst victims because the male members of the family often subject them to sexual abuse.



Despite strict law having been enacted way long back to abolish all the forms of childlabour, mainly the difficult jobs of the industrial sector, no one follows them.



It is the parents who force their children to earn money and the manufacturing companies grab this chance as they are getting their human resources for a much lesser cost.



However, the government has now declared its intention of implementing a ban on childlabour, specifically as domestic servant, in the restaurants, dhabas and in the hospitality industry as well.



The ban is to come in force from October 10 this year, and anyone who is found violating the law will face a prison term of three months, which may even go up to 2 years and the accused will also have to pay a fine of Rs 10,000 to Rs 20,000.
