Child rights groups are asking households and individuals not to employ children under 14 years as domestic help. A statement by CWIN appeals to all not to abuse or overwork children in their homes and to provide them with education, health and other facilities. The International Labour Organisation (ILO), recognises child domestics as one of the worst kinds of child labour and in a new, time-bound programme, has set out to eliminate it along with other forms of exploitation of children at work - as porters, rag pickers, bonded labourers and victims of trafficking.
