We have seen laws being passed and government schemes being launched a hundred times trying to abolish child labour. However its still the kids who clean our houses, cars, run errands in our offices, sell things by the roadside instead of attending schools and what not.

It is we who are actually promoting child labour; we encourage it by seeking services and products where child labour has been used. And it is we people only who can actually abolish the sad practice of employing kids and children for menial work, that too at a lesser pay. Their employers are providing a little help by giving employment to them, and it return are exploiting them to get business worth a lot more than they pay.

I request all of us to seek out the source of labour behind the products and services we endorse before paying for them and make sure that child labour is not used. This way only can be ensure that the future of the country is not slogging to make ends meet.
