SHAME! This is 13-year-old Chinnu's workplace

Can YOU put an end to this shame? Can WE together do it? No, for an answer is our collective SHAME!

The obvious answers would be: What can I do? What can ONE person do to fight/stop child labour?

To begin with:

• STOP employing child labourers if you are doing it; if not, discourage others from employing them
• STOP buying vegetables from vendors where children below 14 are employed
• STOP buying goods and services that you know employ child labour

If this doesn't convince you about the crying need to stop child labour then read Chinnu's (name changed) story: In his own photographs and captions...

'This is my workplace, the vegetable market...' is how Chinnu captioned this photograph.

NOTE:

Photos in their campaign against Child Labour.

More than 200 million children worldwide are still in child labour and a staggering 115 million at least, are subject to its worst forms. In India, according to NSS0 66th Round (2009-10), there are 49.84 lakh (that is 16,000 less than 5 million) child labourers.

The CRY Click Rights campaign 'Open Your Eyes' invites you to overcome indifference to this grim reality and join CRY to help put an end to it.
