A documentary that highlights the new amendment made to the Child Labour Prohibition and Regulation Act of 1986 and explores the terrible condition of children working in the BT Cotton fields of Gujarat.
October 29, 2018 : Nasir (19) is a coal scavenger who regularly collects coal illegally from a coal filled truck. Coal is perhaps the most important energy resource that provides for the energy consumption in India as well as a larger share of the world. Jharia in Jharkhand is the most significant coal mine producing the largest share of coal in India and also in the whole of south Asia. Since the days it has come into operation, and from the discovery of underground fires (in 1916), this coal mine has seen a number of deaths. It has been rightly referred to as the death field. The poor lots who engage themselves in the mining activities to earn a living are affected the most. The major reasons of death here are underground fire, suspension of poisonous gases in the air, pollution, etc. Diseases with skin and lungs are thus widespread here. Moreover, extreme conditions of poverty, illnesses and higher illiteracy among the people force the villagers to sell their kids to the coal mining mafias. Nowadays, more are getting associated with this illegal mining activity for less than 2 USD, yet risking their lives a lot more.

Child labor and forced labor are interconnected issues that involve the exploitation of vulnerable populations, particularly children. The key points of child labor and forced labor are:
Definition: Child labor refers to work that deprives children of their childhood, education, and potential. Forced labor, on the other hand, refers to situations where people are coerced to work through threats or physical violence.
Prevalence: Both child labor and forced labor exist in many parts of the world, particularly in developing countries where poverty, lack of education, and weak legal systems contribute to the problem. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), there are an estimated 152 million children in child labor globally, and 25 million people in forced labor.
Causes: The root causes of child labor and forced labor include poverty, lack of education, political instability, armed conflict, and discrimination against marginalized groups. Children and adults are often lured into labor with false promises of work, education, or a better life.
Consequences: The consequences of child labor and forced labor are devastating and long-lasting. Children who are forced to work often suffer from physical and emotional abuse, exposure to hazardous working conditions, and loss of education and childhood. Adults who are forced to work suffer from exploitation, lack of freedom, and exposure to hazardous working conditions.
Solutions: Addressing child labor and forced labor requires a multi-faceted approach that includes addressing the root causes, strengthening legal systems, increasing awareness and advocacy, providing education and economic opportunities for children and adults, and supporting the rescue and rehabilitation of victims.
Importance: Ending child labor and forced labor is not only a moral imperative but also a global economic issue. The exploitation of labor leads to an unequal distribution of wealth, perpetuating poverty and limiting economic growth. Furthermore, the use of child labor and forced labor can damage a company’s reputation and brand image.
Overall, child labor and forced labor are deeply troubling issues that require urgent action from governments, civil society, and the private sector to protect the rights and dignity of vulnerable populations and prevent the exploitation of labor.

Child labour in Mexico – Talk to Al Jazeera In The Field
“Education for everyone” has been a popular slogan since the Mexican revolution over 100 years ago.
But according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, eight out of 100 Mexican children who enroll in elementary school, do not show up for classes.
While barely 50 complete middle school, 20 graduate from high school, 13 get a bachelor’s degree, and only two become graduate students.
A study released by UNESCO last year says the children who don’t attend school are mostly working. The report reveals that at least 21 percent of all Mexican youth between the ages of seven and 14 drop out of school – that’s around 651,000 children.
That means Mexico has one of the largest child labor forces in Latin America, second only to Colombia.
Many of Mexico’s youths who don’t attend school work in plantations.
Talk to Al Jazeera travelled to the coastal state of Veracruz to meet some Mexicans who have traded classrooms and pencils for sugar cane fields and machetes.
