Stop  Child Labour

Children are the flower's of Heaven They are the most beautiful and purest creation of God.When the children put on different kinds of clothes and begin to go to school for sake of knowledge we feel a kind of joy.But there are also other children those who cannot go to school due to financial problems.

Child labour was employed to varying extents through most of history, but entered public dispute with the advent of universal schooling, with changes in working conditions during the industrial revolution, and with the emergence of the concepts of workers and children's right.
In many developed countries, it is considered inappropriate if a child below a certain age works (excluding household chores, in a family shop, or school-related work). An employer is usually not permitted to hire a child below a certain minimum age. This minimum age depends on the country and the type of work involved
Child labour is still common in some parts of the world, it can be factory work, mining, agriculture, helping in the parents' business, having one's own small business (for example selling food), or doing odd jobs. Some children work as guides for tourists, sometimes combined with bringing in business for shops and restaurants (where they may also work as waiters). Other children are forced to do repetitive jobs such as polishing shoes, stocking a store's products, or cleaning. However, rather than in factories and sweet meat shop, most child labour occurs in the informal sector, selling many things on the streets, at work in agriculture or hidden away in houses

This is one of the most offensive and inhumane act performed by the general community. They know very well that this practice is not legal, but still, people keep on forcing small children to work. This practice must be defended by the legal authorities. The police and other concerned departments must take severe actions against such offenders. This will not only make the people know that this is illegal but also will improve the moral values of our society.
Child Labour is a complex problem which demands a range of solutions. There is no better way to prevent child Labour than to make education compulsory. The West understood this a long time ago. Laws were enacted very early to secure continued education for working children; and now they have gone a step forward, and required completion of at least the preliminary education of the child before he or she starts work.
