'Every social movement should start from home. The fight against child labour is no different. We must realise that these poor, helpless children spend their most important years in many of our households. They grow up amongst us without their families. Our kindness is the least they deserve. Their future lies in our hands. Education is a fundamental human right. Just imagine if we equipped domestic child workers with at least basic literacy and vocational skills – many of them would be able to come out of the vicious cycle of poverty. There are increasing numbers of institutional education opportunities opening across the country for such working children. The least we can do is send them there, and not force them to work for more than 8 hours a day. Ensuring their proper rest and diet is our responsibility.'
