Open in App
Solution

Every citizen has a right not to be exploited. There are clear provisions in the Constitution that prevent exploitation of the weaker sections of the society.
The Constitution mentions three specific evils and declares these illegal:

(i) The Constitution prohibits traffic in human beings. Traffic here means selling and buying of human beings, usually women, for immoral purposes.

(ii) Our Constitution also prohibits forced labour or begar in any form.

(iii) It also prohibits child labour. No one can employ a child below the age of fourteen to work in any factory or mine or in any other hazardous work, such as railways and ports.
