Child Labour Awaran
Only a few children were observed working at hotels, shops and in the bazaar. They sell fruits and vegetables. In the rural areas the male and female children are working with their families in cutting fodder, collection of fuel wood and bushes. The girls are exclusively engaged in household activities, fetching water, cleaning the house and doing embroidery work. The reasons behind child labour include poverty and lack of access to education. Even if they are enrolled in schools, after some time, they are taken out for need of their labour at home.
