This book sheds light on the plight of child domestic workers, predominantly girls, exposing the harsh realities they endure behind closed doors. While justified as traditional training, these children face physical, verbal, psychological, and sexual abuse, denied their right to childhood. The narratives unveil the extent of their suffering, from sexual exploitation to severe beatings. Amidst societal neglect, the book aims to amplify their voices, urging action to end their exploitation and restore their rights. Spearheaded by the National Domestic Workers Movement, it calls for collective efforts to protect these vulnerable children, ensuring their education, freedom, and childhood. Through sharing their stories, the book advocates for children's participation in efforts to eradicate child labor, fostering a brighter future for every child.
