 Have you gone through the CRY’s website (www.cry.org)? What do you understand regarding our approach to Child Rights?
I have gone through the CRY website and the approach this organization employs will be, in my opinion, more effective in the long
run. Yes, charity helps the disadvantaged but charity is an exhaustible resource but I like how this organization also focuses on
child empowerment and prevention of child exploitation. The condition of the children in this country can only be made better
substantially if the change is made at a legislative level and by increasing awareness amongst the people about child right
violations.

 Do you have any experience of interning Yes O No O

B] Why do you wish to intern with CRY (in 150 words)

I wish to intern at CRY mainly for three reasons. The first being for academic purposes and to further my career prospects.
Secondly, because I am pursuing the legal profession and am interested in the field of human rights. And thirdly, because I
have humanitarian interests and would like to contribute to the society, and would like to help the people with disabled
circumstances to realize their goals.

C] Choose your preferred answer

Note: To each of the statements below please write your response as either AGREE or DISAGREE and further explain your position
very briefly
1. Those with the ability to pay should have the right to higher standards of medical care.
I agree with this statement. What I think it is trying to say is that those who can afford higher standards of medical care have
the right to have those standards made available to them. Although, in my opinion, higher standards of medical care should
be made available to everyone irrespective of financial status.

2. All authority should be questioned.

Agree. If authority is not questioned then it becomes easy for it to misuse the powers vested in it. An authority should be kept
in check so that it acts within the limits of its powers.
3. Charity is better than social security as a means of helping the genuinely disadvantaged.
Disagree. Social Security I think would be more organized in helping those who are disabled or unemployed as the
government is in charge of it. The money would be better and more efficiently utilized. This view, however, is based on the
assumption of a transparent and non-corrupt government.

D] share you thoughts and views on a Child Rights Issue which you feel strongly about [ a write up of not more than 500 words]
Child labor has been an international concern because it damages, spoils and destroys the future of children. The
problem of child labor is a serious matter not only in India but also in other developing countries. It is great a social
problem. Children are the hope and future of a nation. Yet, there are millions deprived children in our country who
have never known a normal, carefree childhood.
The law in Indian soil says that any child below age of 14 cannot be employed either in a factory or office or
restaurant. In fact, India’s international business has been severely affected in many cases because child labor,
violating human rights, have been used in some stage or the other in manufacturing, packaging a transport of those
items. And, in a large number of cases of export of ready-made garments, prawn and several other items from India
has been rejected on grounds of child labor being used.
Child labor is frequently utilized in India in various places of production and service e.g., small scale industry,
restaurant service, domestic aid, shopkeeper’s assistant, stone breaking, book binding, in fact in every house-hold
industry.

Background of engaging child labor,

• To have or increase the income of a poor family
• To reduce the labor cost in a production organization
• Misc. reasons for engaging as domestic aid as the children are less doubtful about dishonesty or less liable
to misbehave or be violent.

In a developed society where every citizen counts and all citizens have the right to have proper education, health
care support, games and entertainment and to complete his education so that when he is a fully grown adult he can
get a full employment with standard salary.

Solutions to child labor,

• The Child labor laws need to be strictly enforced by the Government.
• The general public need to be made aware of the severe consequences of Child labor.
• An increase in employment opportunity for adults would help in overcoming the problem of poverty and
child labor.
• Government should ensure that every child gets the opportunity to go to school.
• The owners of factories and mines should take the pledge of not engaging child in their place of business.
