let children be free to be children

Child labour is not a new phenomenon in an agriculture dominated country like Nepal. For many years, it has remained a part and parcel of the feudal economy. Like in other developing countries in South Asia, the rural communities in Nepal are living in a state of social injustice, economic exploitation, deprivation and backwardness. The growing marginalisation among the rural population, landlessness, unemployment and unplanned urbanisation have also contributed to an increase in the magnitude of child labour exploitation in the country. text adopted from www.cwin.org.np
