Child renting is a practice whereby parents hire their children (i.e. between 5-13 years) to farmers and fishermen etc. These children live and work for their ‘‘lords’’ under very difficult situations. Their wages are paid to their parents directly. In some cases the parents change their children’s lords every year and these children are denied their human right. Institutions which looked at the problem as a social one did very little to address it. When we view the problem from the moral perspective, will it make any difference in the way it will be tackled? Has your country even witness any such practice? How was it checked?
