How children get Trapped
Thousands of children slog in sweatshops like the Zari units in Delhi, mostly trafficked from Bihar and neighboring states. Most parents are conned by traffickers who promise that the children would lead a better life with opportunities for education in the cities. Middlemen approach illiterate and vulnerable parents in villages in poor states like Bihar or west Bengal and orissa in north India with an offer in the guise of providing education and training to the children to learn embroidery and get employment so that their children can earn as much as 100 rupees a day to trap the poor and gullible parents. But the reality is totally different.
Poverty coupled with illiteracy contributes to trafficking of young children and, in turn, bonded labor. But it is not the only cause. The major reasons for bonded labor are the lack of access to credit, the absence of concerted social welfare schemes; inaccessible, low quality and discriminatory schools; non-implementation of minimum wages for adults; adult unemployment; and historical and economic relationships based on the hierarchy of caste and other discriminating factors. A normal workday is 16 hours long, but during the peak season it stretches to 18 hours. While many work seven days a week round the year, some get a day off every two weeks. Their average monthly income ranges from Rs.50 to Rs.250. that worker are forced to keep borrowing from their employers, who ensure that the loans are never off the books, even though the children's labor has paid them many times over.
The children suffer from innumerable health problems ranging from simple injuries to spinal disorders and eye problems. The study reveals that there are no proper medical facilities available for the children.
