The Indian government has taken a step forward by enacting a law to ban
domestic work and some other forms of labor by children under age 14,
Human Rights Watch said today. The law goes into effect on October 10,
but to be effective, the Indian authorities will need to improve upon
their weak enforcement of existing child labor protections.
