India: Schools, not sweatshops

See all tags
To members of the Indian Parliament and global leaders: We call on you to immediately pass the Child and Adolescent Labour Abolition Bill. You have the power to abolish child labour under 14 years of age and ensure all children can go to school. We also call on India and all nations to put the eradication of child labour at the heart of national education plans and expand social protection programmes so that all children around the world go to school by the 2016 deadline set by the United Nations.
