RIGHT AGAINST EXPLOITATION
Article 23:
It bans human trafficking, begging, and other forms of forced labour. It makes disobedience of this clause a criminal offence punishable by law. This does not, however, preclude the government from imposing mandatory service for public objectives. However, the state cannot discriminate on the basis of religion, race, caste, or class while enforcing such service.
Article 24:
It forbids the hiring of minors under the age of 14 in hazardous jobs. As a result, Article 24 does not ban youngsters from working in non-hazardous businesses. The 1986 Children Labor Prohibition and Regulation Act originally designated 14 sectors as dangerous, including mining, chemical, slate, matchstick, and fire cracker. It controls the employment of children in other businesses by establishing the amount of working hours, minimum salaries, and employer duties, among other things. In 2009, the Act was expanded to include the unorganised sector, which employs the greatest number of youngsters. Children are not allowed to work in domestic sectors, hotels, restaurants, or other similar establishments.
