Right Against Exploitation

The Right against Exploitation is one of the six Fundamental Rights enshrined in the Indian Constitution, designed to protect individuals from oppression, particularly the marginalized sections of society. This right is specifically articulated to prevent three critical forms of exploitation:

Traffic in Human Beings: This provision prohibits the buying and selling of individuals for immoral purposes, emphasizing that such activities violate human dignity and rights.
Forced Labor or Begar: The Constitution forbids any imposition of forced labor without due compensation, thus safeguarding individuals from being coerced into working without fair remuneration.
Child Labor: Recognizing the vulnerability of children, this provision prohibits the employment of children below the age of fourteen in hazardous occupations, ensuring that they have the right to education and a childhood free from exploitation.

These rights reflect the commitment of the Indian state to uphold human dignity and social justice, empowering individuals to stand against exploitation and seek legal recourse if their rights are violated. The enforcement of these provisions is crucial to ensure that every citizen can live with dignity and in freedom.
