Right Against Exploitation

Right Against Exploitation (Art 23-24), prohibiting all forms of forced labour, child labour and traffic in human beings.

The right against exploitation, given in Articles 23 and 24, provides for two provisions, namely the abolition of trafficking in human beings and begar (forced labour), and abolition of employment of children below the age of 14 years in dangerous jobs like factories and mines. Child labour is considered a gross violation of the spirit and provisions of the Constitution. Begar, practised in the past by landlords, has been declared a crime and is punishable by law. Trafficking in humans, for the purpose of slave trade or prostitution, is also prohibited by law. An exception is made in employment without payment for compulsory services for public purposes. Compulsory military conscription is covered by this provision.

Article 23 provides rights against human misconduct, forced labour and bonded labour.

Article 23(1) : Traffic in human beings and the beggar and other similar forms of forced labour are prohibited and any contravention of this provision shall be an offence punishable in accordance with the law.
