Sex slavery, bonded labour, and domestic servitude: this is life for millions of children in India. It doesn't have to be this way.

Dear Indra,

They work 18 hours a day, 7 days a week. They endure crippling injuries, rampant abuse, and constant pain. They forfeit their education and their free-time -- all of it. And they start as young as 5. Meet India's millions of child slaves.

Child slavery runs rampant in India because of lax enforcement of weak laws. But there's a bill in Parliament that could change that and put millions of vulnerable kids on track for a brighter future. The bill would ban working for children 14 and under, making it much harder for traffickers to get away with their crimes.

This bill won't pass without a demonstration of mass public support, and every day it is delayed is another day India's children remain at risk of being sold into slavery.

Please support freedom and justice today and call on the Indian Parliament to pass the "Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Amendment Bill."
