Satvinder Kaur, Dr. Narender Kumar
Page No. : 42-49
ABSTRACT
In India, a large number of children are trafficked not only for the sex trade but also for other forms of non-sex-based exploitation that includes servitude of different types, viz. Domestic labour, industrial labour, agricultural labour, begging, organ trade, camel jockeying, false marriage, etc. In this connection, it is necessary to bear in mind that under the ILO Convention 138, the term Child Labour generally refers to any economic activity performed by persons under the age of 14. However, not all work performed by children is detrimental or exploitative. Child labour of concern is generally that which prevents effective school attendance or is performed under conditions hazardous to the physical and mental health of the child.
