All take and no give

Why are we reluctant to talk about child labour? So many out-of-school children are forced to work at hostile places because their parents cannot afford to feed them. The rich and powerful employ these children as domestic servants. These children are employed at low salaries and at times they are not allowed to go to their homes for festivals or a short vacation.

Unless socio-economic conditions of our country are improved, children in our country will continue to live a difficult life. The relevant authorities and NGOs should come forward to alleviate the suffering of these children and save them from exploitation.
