Centre for Media and Public Affairs plans Special Bulletin on Child Labour



Prof V.Venkat Raj has planned to bring out a Special Bulletin on Child Labour and has called for articles. Please respond to the following appeal:

Millions of people around the world observe 'World Day Against Child Labour' on June 12 every year. International Labour Organization (ILO) launched the World Day Against Child Labour in 2002 to focus attention on the efforts needed to eliminate it. Globally, the latest figures estimated that 215 million children are trapped in child labour, and 115 million of these children are in hazardous work. In countries like India, the condition is too deplorable.

Being an active agent of change with forward looking social attitude, the Centre for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) considers Child Labour as a serious crime against humanity. CMPA suggests that for effective abolition of child labour, we need to identify, reach out and work with communities where children are exploited.

As a campaign, CMPA seriously appeals to everyone in media and communication industry to deeply realize the responsibility in eradicating child labour. To highlight the significance, Centre for Media and Public Affairs (CMPA) will bring out a Special Bulletin in June 2012. The Special Bulletin will feature articles, columns and reports on social issues and challenges faced by the young Indians.

We request you to send articles, viewpoints, reviews, researches and reports on the related issues (maximum 500 words – as word file with image attachments)

With Regards,

V.Venkat Raj, President
