Our society is facing many problems out of which child labour is one of
the main problems which is growing day by day. Government is taking
enormous effort s in eradicating child labour in India. They are taking
many steps in order to educate those children who are deprived of this
valuable education. They had also made this child labour a punishable
offence, yet there are many people who are practicing this child labour
in the interiors that is the villages where there is no awareness of
these laws. Now cine stars joined hands in removing this child labour.
They are displaying many ads about this laws and importance of
education. Thereby through my blog I am contributing a small amount in
demolishing this child labour. Please avoid child labor.

The
Stop Child Labour campaign is a joint lobby, education and awareness
raising campaign that seeks to eliminate child labour through the
provision of full time formal education. Hivos has been leading the
campaign during the first two EU co-financed phases and continues to do
so with IBIS, Cesvi and People in Need.
The campaign has some guiding principles:
The
elimination of child labour and the provision of full time formal
education are inextricably linked. The focus of attention must be to
actively integrate and retain all ‘out of school’ children into formal
education systems. Children have the right to education at least until
the age they are allowed to work which is 15 (while developing countries
can choose 14). In addition efforts must be made to remove all barriers
to local schools as well as ensuring the necessary financial and
infrastructural support for the provision of quality education.
The
Convention on the Rights of the Child along with a host of other
international agreements unequivocally affirm the right of all children
to live in freedom from exploitation. Approaches to the issue have
tended to prioritize and segregate solutions to different types of child
labour depending on certain categories. These range from children
working in hazardous industries to children doing so-called
non-hazardous work -including domestic work- but missing out on school.
The Stop Child Labour campaign believes that such distinctions, while helping to cast a spotlight on the worst abuses, tend to be too narrow in their focus and offer only partial solutions. Efforts to eliminate child labour should focus on all its forms, preferably aiming at all children in a certain community.

All governments
have a duty to ensure that they do not permit, or allow child labour to
exist within their state. Furthermore they have a duty to ensure that
state agencies, corporate bodies as well as their suppliers and trading
partners worldwide, are fully compliant with the Convention on the
Rights of the Child and other international agreements protecting the
rights of the child.
As part of their corporate social responsibility, all transnational and other business enterprises using child labour should create and implement a plan to remove children from their workforce, including their supply-chain, and enrol them in full time education.

The
eradication of child labour is closely linked to the promotion of other
labour standards in the workplace: the right to organise and collective
bargaining, freedom from forced labour, child labour and
discrimination. A living wage, health and safety at work, and the
absence of forced excessive overtime are also crucial. Child labour
undermines the opportunities for adult employment and decent wages.
Experience has shown that child labour is highly unlikely to exist when a
free trade union is present and where core labour standards are
respected.
