Raising Awareness Against Child Labor and Bonded Labor
The Shri Devnarayan Temple Trust is dedicated to eradicating child labor and bonded labor. We envision a society where every child can enjoy their childhood and access education, and where no individual is forced into labor under coercive conditions. Our goal is to raise awareness and take actionable steps to eliminate these practices, ensuring dignity and freedom for all.
Key Initiatives
Educational Campaigns:
We conduct extensive educational campaigns to raise awareness about the harmful effects of child labor and bonded labor. These campaigns include workshops, seminars, and distribution of informational materials to educate communities about their rights and the importance of education for children.
Community Outreach:
Our community outreach programs involve visiting villages, towns, and cities to engage with local populations. We hold discussions, provide resources, and work with local leaders to identify and address instances of child labor and bonded labor.
Partnerships with Schools:
Partnering with schools is a crucial part of our strategy. We work with educational institutions to identify at-risk children and provide support to keep them in school. This includes scholarships, school supplies, and other forms of assistance to reduce the financial burden on families.
Legal Support:
We offer legal support to victims of child labor and bonded labor. Our team works with legal experts to help victims understand their rights, navigate the legal system, and seek justice. This also involves advocating for stronger enforcement of existing laws against these practices.
Rescue and Rehabilitation:
In collaboration with law enforcement and other NGOs, we participate in rescue operations to free individuals from bonded labor conditions. We also provide rehabilitation services, including counseling, medical care, and vocational training, to help them reintegrate into society.
Empowering Families:
To address the root causes of child labor and bonded labor, we work on empowering families economically. This includes offering vocational training to adults, helping them secure better job opportunities, and providing micro-financing options to start small businesses.
