At a rehabilitation home in northern Delhi run by a charity for children, Bachpan Bachao Andolan, many families have gathered. They are all tea workers from the north-east state of Assam and have come here searching for their missing daughters. They estimate that just from one particular area - Rangpura in Assam - 16 girls have been lost in the last three to four years. Helping these families find their daughters is Kailash Satyarti, the head of Bachpan Bacchao Andolan. "This is the most ironical part of India's growth. The middle classes are demanding cheap, docile labour," he says. "The cheapest and most vulnerable workforce is children - girls in particular. So the demand for cheap labour is contributing to trafficking of children from remote parts of India to big cities." http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25947984 ignore spam. |
