Child Labour in Fireworks factories-STOP IT!!




HEY!!!
I guess all of you love Diwali-The festival of lights, the festival of fireworks. But do you know the tragedy behind this festival?
Fireworks manufacturers had long been criticised for their use of child labour. Although the manufacturers declare that child labour is no longer used, estimates suggest that at least 3,000 children still work at every stage of the manufacturing process. Child labour taints fireworks industry at Sivakasi publisher with wages as low as Rs 20 per day. There had been protests by the manufacturers against the anti child labour campaign by various N.G.O.s , terming them as false allegations and conspiracies Bandh total at Sivakasi. Thousands of children die each year in the fireworks business.
Children are working for people-us whom they don't even know. Why should they do it for our happiness when they can spend their childhood in many other interesting ways?
Are they doing this for repaying their parents debt or for the happiness of this world?
The beautiful sparks we see during Diwali has the tears and sacrifices of children hidden behind them.We need to stop all this..
Please take initiative to stop all this. Please help save the shedding tears of these children.
Help them to fulfill their dreams. Please try to find the tragedy of these children behind the sparks of these fireworks.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR COOPERATION!
