They are deprived of their right to physical, social, emotional, spiritual development. They are deprived and denied of their right to education. If no immediate measures are taken into account at present, there will be rather difficult situation in the future. In order to help protect the children working in the most intolerable forms of labour, the world is combating against child labour exploitation. Governments, International communities and civil societies are trying their best to make their countries free of child labour exploitation.
Different people have different opinions about the problem of child labour.
However, they all agree one thing that child labour is a cause and consequence of the exploitative socio-economic and political reality. The objective of initiating the E-list on child labour is to provide a forum for the international communities to facilitate discussion and dialogue as well as to share experiences on this issue. It has no objective to draw any conclusion and to forward any recommendation for the solution of child labour problem. We believe that different countries have different socio-economic and cultural realities and the solution of the problems should be accordingly. Child labour is a multi-disciplinary problem and no single approach will help to solve it.
