Child labour robs children of their right to an innocent childhood. Do your bit to stop it by making informed decisions and spreading awareness.
“Anger is within each one of you, and if we are confined in the narrow shells of egos, and the circles of selfishness, then the anger will turn out to be hatred, violence, revenge, destruction. But if we are able to break the circles, then the same anger could turn into a great power. We can break the circles by using our inherent compassion and connect with the world, through compassion, to make this world better.” These are the words of Nobel Peace Laureate Kailash Satyarthi, a child rights activist who has been fighting against child labour for over 36 years now. It was the anger of this common man that led to the formation of one of the world’s largest people’s movement that crossed borders and raised its voice for the children of the world trapped in child slavery.
If you have this anger in you, which makes its way forward every time you see a ‘chotu’ working at a dhaba or a ‘munni’ in tattered clothes, taking expensive dogs for a stroll in a plush locality, channelize this anger and do something to stop this.
