  • Labourers are producing glass bracelets used as women's ornaments during and after marriage, which are traded throughout India and internationally. After a major clean-up by the authorities in the industrial area of Firozabad, renowned as the 'glass city', in  Uttar Pradesh, northern India, child labour has been largely uprooted, but it continues unabated hidden inside the homes of  slum dwellers on the outskirts of the city. Due to extreme poverty, over 20.000 young children are employed to complete the bracelets produced in the industrial units. This area is considered to be one of the highest concentrations of child labour on the planet. Forced to work to support their disadvantaged families, children as young as five are paid between 30-40 Indian Rupees (approx. 0.50 EUR) for eight or more hours of work daily. Most of these children are not able to receive an education and are easily prey of the labour-poverty cycle which has already enslaved their families to a life of exploitation. Children have to sit in crouched positions, use solvents, glues, kerosene and various other dangerous materials while breathing toxic fumes and spending most time of the day in dark, harmful environments. As for India's Child Labour Act of 1986, children under 14 are banned from working in industries deemed 'hazardous' but the rules are widely flouted, and prosecutions, when they happen at all, get bogged down in courts for lengthy periods. A ban on child labour without creating alternative opportunities for the local population is the central problem to the Indian Government's approach to the social issue affecting over 50 million children nationwide.

  • Geeta, (right) around 40 years old, is recounting how her younger daughter Radhika, 4, was kidnapped, raped and murdered on July 7th-8th, while her other daughter, Poonam, 8, (left) is sitting next to her, on a road inside Pakkatalab colony, in Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh. Radhika was kidnapped out of the family’s house, nobody noticed. Her mother, Geeta, woke up at around 2am on July 8th and went searching for her younger daughter. She also went to the police, but they didn't do anything to help finding the girl. Geeta found her girl on the street, already dead. According to ‘The Times of India’, around 60 wounds were found on the girl’s body. Instead of filing an official case, (FIR) the police told the mother that street dogs had killed her child. The post-mortem examination showed differently, and also proved that Radhika was raped. After some street demonstrations, the two police officers involved were suspended, and the police have now started searching for evidence. A destitute woman, Geeta makes and sells stones that are used as a flat base where to shred and chip vegetables. Her husband, Raju, died 3 years ago.
