India's Working Children
Nina Robinson reports on the children in India who work as domestic servants in the homes of the middle classes - despite a law giving every child from age of six to 14 the right to a free education.
The BBC's Nina Robinson reports from India where the booming economy has fuelled a demand for cheap domestic labour.
She finds that children are filling the gaps, with evidence of trafficking and youngsters being set to work in households, where they are open to abuse with little hope of ever going to school.
This is happening, despite a law brought in just over a year ago which gave every child from the age of six to 14, the right to a free education.
