http://www.angelfire.com/co3/NCFS/childlabour/indianslaverynov2000.html & " It is estimated that 55 percent of the workers are below 14 years. Many begin working at age five to seven. Children dye outer paper, roll gunpowder, make firecrackers, dip material into chemicals, and pack the final products for seven to twelve hours a day every day. They work in cramped, dark sheds in crouched positions and are exposed to dangerous chemicals such as chlorates, phosphorous and sulphur. There is a constant risk of fire and explosions, yet the children wear no protective gear. Local doctors report that children suffer from chronic bronchitis, broncho-pneumonia, tuberculosis, malnutrition, gastrointestinal disorders, skin disorders, over-exhaustion, burns, water borne diseases and eye infections. Harsh treatment by employers is common, and girls as young as seven and eight are reportedly sexually assaulted by supervisors outside of factory premises."
