DO NOT EMPLOY BUT EMPOWER

We know the laws definitely need to be re-looked at. The trafficker is roaming around the country after getting bails and all. This is something which is really hampering the whole system of putting a check on the trafficker, putting a check on how trafficking happens as such. So yes there is a flaw there. And also the awareness is majorly lacking in all the communities in India. The whole system of awareness the whole program of reaching out to the real grassroots person is this thing. And poverty, the main thing, government has to look at, is employ-ability and giving out some money related things to the people who are living in the villages.  

Even where the lord does exist, the child labour prohibition and regulation act, it is only concentrating on the employer. The majority of the children are being trafficked to work for pointed labour.

 For e.g. Rescued kids are being trafficked from the remote areas of India like Bihar or other areas from where this children are trafficked by organized people. One person takes the children to another than to another, than to another and eventually they end up in some unknown place and they are working for 12-14 hours a day for nothing to twenty rupees a week. And this is Slavery. So even when the authorities are able to do the raid and rescue the children and prosecute the employer, even in those situations the trafficker who has actually bring the children goes caught-free.

The problem of India is that it is not being able to cater to its own population in terms of equal distribution of essential needs. Despite laws in place there is no check in regulation on this crime.
