answered-by-expert Expert Answer

The Right against Exploitation enshrined in the Indian Constitution guarantees dignity of the individual. It also prohibits the exploitation or misuse of service by force or inducement in the following ways:

  1. Article 23 (a) prohibits slavery, beggary or other forms of forced labour. The State has been given the authority to introduce compulsory service for such persons in order to stop the practice. The government cannot discriminate on the basis of religion, race, colour, etc.
  2. Human trafficking is prohibited by Article 23. It criminalises buying and selling of human beings like a commodity. It also prohibits use of women or girls for immoral purposes.
  3. Article 24 prohibits the employment of children below the age of 14 years in factories, mines and other hazardous activities. Bonded labour has also been prohibited by the Article.
