CHILD LABOUR & VIOLENCE AGAINST CHILDREN

CHILD LABOUR: Numbers of child labour are increasing say by day to see everywhere, which sections of the children are exploited in our country. Children first belong to a family, a social community and to an economic class. And this is being the common characteristic feature of social structure, which is exploitative, differentiated; the children themselves do not, however, from any social community or economic class, they belong to the overall socioeconomic classes. The exploited children are, therefore, the children of the exploited families, social communities and economic classes. It was nothing unusual in the olden days to own children of salves and bonded workers. The children born to salves were treated by their owners as potential workers, and the children thus owned either worked and served their masters or were sold to others. Besides, children were not docile section of the workforce. The economic vulnerability of their parents and exploitive motive and profiteering greed to their masters, who owned the means of production, together provided the most fertile ground of children of deprived and disinherited workers. 

VIOLENCE AGINST CHILDREN: In recent decades some extreme forms of violence against children, including sexual exploitation and trafficking, female genital mutilation, the worst forms of child labour and the impact of armed conflict, have provoked international outcry and achieved a consensus of condemnation, although no rapid remedy. But in addition to these extreme forms of violence, many children are routinely exposed to physical, sexual and psychological violence in their homes and schools, in care and justice systems, in places of work and in their communities. All of this has devastating consequences for their health and well-being now and in the future.

On the other hand parents who embrace the role of partnering with enthusiasm enable children to acquire skills that maximize their life potential. Poor parents care impacts the rapid growths and changes that occurs in the developing child from infancy to adolescence with long term negative consequences. Physical growth and development occurs at an astonishing pace in early childhood, with poor nutrition presenting a risk for impaired physical development in the youth child's growing body. For example, children who don't receive sufficient iron in their diet may exhibit problems in reaching cognitive and motor milestones, as well as problems with anxiety, depression and social skills/ Stunted physical growth and less efficient transmission of neural signals in the brain may result when parents fail to provide adequate nutrition.
