Efforts Needed to End Child Labor, Says District Legal Services Authority Secretary
Every individual must contribute to ending child labor and ensuring a better future for affected children, said Ganta Kavitha Devi, Secretary of the District Legal Services Authority in Gadwal. She emphasized the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment for vulnerable children.
During a recent event, Ganta Kavitha Devi shared the story of an orphan girl who was found working as a domestic helper in harsh and inhumane conditions. Upon learning about her situation, authorities acted swiftly to rescue her and provide her with the care she needed.
The rescued child was admitted to a Deaf and Dumb Hostel, where she was given the name “Khyati.” With focused support and attention, she made remarkable progress. Within just 15 days, Khyati began speaking and learning to read, showcasing her incredible potential when given the right opportunities.
The Secretary urged the public to identify similar cases of child labor or neglect in their communities. She encouraged people to take a compassionate approach and assist such children in need.
Ganta Kavitha Devi stressed the importance of working together to support vulnerable children. She called on residents to promptly inform authorities about any instances of child labor or exploitation. By doing so, she said, individuals could contribute to transforming the lives of these children and giving them a chance at a brighter future.
