Hi Deepti,

very well raised point. However, I feel that we always look child labor as a point solution and not the entire eco-system. I think the entire pieces of value chain needs to be addressed rather than just addressing a point solution.

Nevertheless, these changes does not happen overnight and takes time to evolve and this is a humble beginning. Keep it up!

Hi Deepti,

Nice to know that a real, big and blasting issue taken up by you. Its really hurting that the future of India is living in such inhuman conditions.

I would suggest you to first find the root of this issue rather than beating the drum.

Charity begins at home, so may i please ask you how old is the maid helping at your own house? Wats the average age of girls working in yor neighbour's house's as domestic help? Wat's the avg age and salary of these girls working in and around your area sector 4 & 7 and then gradually increasing the area of concern, all the sectors, housing colonies and society of Gurgaon?

It might sound rude to you but lets first get the correct stats related to the cause and issue taken by you, then only something practical and in a very strong manner could be done.

And if its all only for getting some kind of Name and Fame game than even God wont forgive any of us.

If you find my words and doubts true, than please go ahead to clarify with me any time.

I am ready to help you and even promise you to help you get your NGO emplaned on NHRC list.
