Protection: India

Because I am a girl…
I have the right to a childhood, not a job. 

Rolling beedis is hard work for anyone, particularly a young girl like Shanu.
Read her story.
As many as 60 million children are engaged in labor in India — that’s more child laborers than in any other country in the world. Certain types of labor, such as working in factories and rolling beedis (cigarettes), can be hazardous to a child’s health, especially when they are exposed at a young age. And no matter what type of labor a child is engaged in, it robs her of her childhood and cripples her opportunities for the future.
