2. Child Labour
• Child Labour is generally speaking, works for
children, that harm them or exploits them in
some way (Physically, Mentally, Morally or by
blocking access to Education).

3. • Child Labour is the practice of having children
engage in economic activity, on part or full
time basis. The Practice deprives children of
their childhood and is harmful to their physical
and mental development. Poverty, lack of good
schools and growth of informal economy are
considered as the important causes of child
labour in india. Some child rights activist
argues that child labour must include every
child who is not in school because he or she is
a hidden child worker

5. Gender bias
• In the farming we can see the biases between
girls and boys. In farming boys’ are often
responsible for operating machinery, using
sharp tools, spraying chemicals and they are
more often exposed to amputations, cuts and
burns, pesticide poisonings and other adverse
health impacts. Girls are often responsible for
carrying water, collecting and carrying wood,
risking musculoskeletal injuries, fatigue and
sexual abuse.

7. • In Child labour and gender bias we can see social
biases. How they ignores them and reality of their lives.
Gender analysis is powerful tool to unmask the causes
of child domestic labour and why the girl child is
disproportionately represented in child, are more often
than men the victims of poverty and malnutrition.
Moreover, women and the girl child face discrimination
on a daily basis in every country. This includes
discrimination in the enforcement of laws, denial of
equal opportunity in education and employment,
cultural and social norms that reinforce female
stereotypes and developmental policies that have led to
the feminization of poverty and subordination of
women. In many countries in the world, the right to
equality before the law has been rendered useless by
customary laws that subjugate the woman and the girl
child.

8. • Literacy and language skills
acquired in school impact
the health of women and
their children. For example,
girls in school are likely to
acquire the skills to be able
to read health education
materials that discuss such
options as child spacing that
can have an influence on
their health of their children.
Behaviour role modeling
and exposure to positive
health messages increase the
changes a girl will adopt and
adhere to positive health
behaviours.

9. “Equal pay for women is a matter of simple
justice”
• Mary Anderson.
• Equal access to education is a basic right and there is
growing concern that all children specifically girls,
minorities and children from low income families are
not afforded equal educational opportunities. The
provision of education is critical and it may require
overall improvement of public health resources to
assure that children are able to avail themselves of
educational opportunities.
