Answer:
As early as the age of 10, girls face difficult challenges like forced marriage, child labour and female genital mutilation. Both boys and girls are sold off into labour by parents in desperate circumstances, who believe a life of work in the city will help them live better lives. Child labour is common for 'below poverty line' children (as high as 80%) who rarely reach class 5, and are forced to work in unorganised sectors, like beedi industry.While India is increasing primary school enrolment (98% of rural Indian children in 2015 from 80-85% in the early 2000s), it is Indian girls who haven’t matched the pace of education. The majority of students who drop out of school before completing primary education (UNESCO 2012 data) are girl children.
