Right against Exploitation (Articles 23–24)

Subject: Polity

Book: Indian Polity by M. Laxmikanth

Prohibits human trafficking, begar (forced labor without payment), and other forms of exploitation. Article 23 enshrines a broad ban on any forced labor, ensuring fair compensation and safeguarding human dignity. Article 24 outlaws child labor in factories, mines, or other hazardous environments, prohibiting employment of children below age 14 in such settings. These articles reflect a commitment to social justice and resonate with international conventions on labor standards. They also pave the way for legislative actions like the Child Labour (Prohibition and Regulation) Act, strengthening the fight against exploitation in all forms.
