Multinational and Indian companies still profit from bonded child labour on cottonseed farms in India

An estimated 12,375 children are still working in horrendous conditions on cottonseed farms in the state of Andhra Pradesh (India) producing for the multinational corporations (MNC's) Advanta (Dutch), Bayer (German), Emergent Genetics (US, with an investment from Unilever) and Monsanto (US)...Promises by companies made last year to eradicate child labour in the sector have not translated into solid actions...A second report released today on child labour and labour conditions in cottonseed production in the states of Gujarat and Karnataka, provides evidence that another 117,800 children under 15 are also working under dismal circumstances for multinational and Indian companies.
