Building a Wider
Horizon With Labour
A National Consultation on Child Labour in the Hotel and Domestic Sector was organised by the Campaign Against Child Labour (CACL) on July 22 and 23, 2002, at the India International Centre, New Delhi. The body drafted a memorandum which was submitted to the Ministry of Labour and Department of Women and Child Development, Government of India demanding amendments in the Child Labour (Regulation and Prohibition) Act, 1986 (CLPRA) so that Child Labour in Hotel Industry and Domestic Work is prohibited with immediate effect. The two-day consultation attended by more than 50 participants marked the culmination of a year long nation wide campaign to prohibit the employment of children in these two sectors. State level and regional consultations preceded it.
