National Domestic Workers Movement(NDWM) started the raise your hand campaign in Jan 2011in India to urge the citizens for the rights of domestic workers especially children.
It is true, until citizens take an initiative to stand up for their rights nothing can really be achieved. Many children at a very young age waste their childhood by working in homes, for a meagre amount of money, instead of going to school.
National Domestic Workers Movement has been active since the past 25 years yet it has been unable to save young kids from ruining their childhood because of working in houses. Raise your hand campaign seems to be a very innovative and challenging concept in terms of the involvement of the employers who recruit these young kids to work in their houses.
Success of this campaign cannot be predicted because of the low laying aspect of the movement but if this campaign gains momentum, it will be a change for many young kids who waste their childhood working when they should really be playing or going to school.
