Child labour: AP plan to be replicated in other States
“Of over 36,000 cases identified, there are several instances where the
same child has been rescued over four times. As we cannot forcibly keep
children away from their parents, the problem has to be addressed at a
much larger level by providing adequate adult employment,” said by the
officials was reported in the news.
Re-victimization of Child : “However, of
the 36, 621 incidents of child labour
identified, only 13,774 have been
rehabilitated and admitted into schools in
15 years. While most children are forced
into work by their parents to ease financial
burden, most „rescued' children are being
sent back to their parents who again put
them into employment” reported in the
