Children are the most vulnerable section of our society. Their rights are being violated in many ways. Almost in every society the world has witnessed the violation of the rights of the children. The children are very much vulnerable to exploitation. Child labour is one of the ugliest manifestations of the violation of the rights of the children. They are being treated as commodity that can be bought and sold. Extreme poverty is one of the cognizable reasons for this menace. Children are engaged in work in hazardous conditions as they are unable to protest against the same and they continue to work till their employer needs them to work. They are subjected to receive less wages and sometimes beaten up by their employer for not conforming to the assigned norms for them. This inhuman practice does not prevalent in the third world countries alone but the rich first world countries are also facing the menace. International Labour Organization (ILO) since its inception has been working as the saviour of the rights of the children. Our constitution guarantees certain rights to our children so that their rights can be protected and promoted. The children are the assets of the nation and as such their rights should every way be protected and the violation of the same should lead to severe punishment by the law of the land.
