The Picture In India

"We Do Things Differently". -South Fire Unite

Hi .
Welcome to India .
We are one country diverse in so many ways yet we are all proud to call ourselves "Indians" .
Incredible ain't it ?
India is a fast moving developing country, .


There is hope in this rich and diverse country, with changes taking place economically and socially at a very rapid pace. Rather than waiting for the effects to trickle down, more work has to be done at the grassroots to ensure a positive growth of this incredible nation. I do see the beginnings of an awakening, a dawning of the senses, which would hopefully lead to a brighter future of India.
I’m as excited as ever to see how my life unfolds, for change is inevitable and I have to accept the changes that I see in Bangalore , and embrace the good that still exists here in a place that’s still home.


In India,
children’s vulnerabilities and exposure to violations of their rights remain spread and multiple in nature.

These violations are various, ranging from child labour, child trafficking, to commercial exploitation and many other forms of violence and abuse.
DID YOU KNOW .

for instance,
India has the largest number of child labourers under the age of 14 in the world. Although poverty is often cited as the cause underlying child labour, other factors such as discrimination, social exclusion, as well as the lack of quality education or existing parents’ attitudes and perceptions about child labour and the role and value of education need also to be considered.

Trafficking of children also continues to be a serious problem in India. The nature and scope of trafficking range from industrial and domestic labour, to forced early marriages.

Moreover, due to the challenges and complexity posed in creating systematic redressing mechanisms, as well as due to the discrimination surrounding the issue, for children who have been trafficked and rescued opportunities for rehabilitation remain scarce and reintegration process almost impossible.

While systematic data and information on child protection issues are still not always available, evidence suggests that children in need of special protection belong to communities suffering disadvantage and social exclusion such as scheduled casts and tribes, and
the poor.
The lack of available services, as well as the gaps persisting in law enforcement and in rehabilitation schemes also constitute a major cause of concern.
