The issue of Child work stays a boundless, wonder all through the world. For enormous number of kids’
work is a difficulty, a wellspring of anguish and misuse, furthermore, a principal maltreatment of human
rights. Frequently, kid work brings about instructive hardship, social hindrance and unexpected weakness
and physical turn of events.
Youngster work is as yet regular in certain pieces of the world, it very well may be production line work,
mining, prostitution, quarrying, horticulture, helping in the guardians' business, having one's own private
venture (for instance selling food), or doing random temp jobs. A few kids fill in as aides for visitors,
once in a while joined with acquiring business for shops and cafés (where they may likewise function as
servers). Other kids are compelled to do dreary and dull employments, for example, gathering boxes,
cleaning shoes, loading a store's items, or cleaning. Nonetheless, instead of in processing plants and
sweatshops, most kid work happens in the casual part, "selling numerous things in the city, at work in
horticulture or concealed away in houses—a long way from the scope of legitimate work controllers and
from media examination." And all the work that they did was done in a wide range of climate; and was
additionally accomplished for negligible compensation. For whatever length of time that there is family
neediness there will be kid work.
In the current investigation, we concentrated on the job of broad communications in making mindfulness
and spurring individuals against youngster work. In this computerized period media shapes all aspects of
human life. As of late individuals are utilizing media to create social cognizance and to develop idealistic
changes in society. This look into study will be useful to accomplish the expected objectives of youngster
privileges of and to take full favorable circumstances from the speculation for broad communications
crusade to rouse and mindful individuals. In this advanced period media impacts all aspects of human life.
As of late individuals are utilizing media to make social mindfulness and rolling out positive
improvements in the public eye. Numerous media crusade are presently being utilized to advance
mindfulness among open. Broad communications crusades increment attention to the issue of physical
action. Similarly, media are additionally used to set up kid directly in the public eye. Perhaps the best case
of fruitful media program which had incredible impact in south-east Asian nations to guarantee kid right
and sexual orientation uniformity is 'Meena Cartoon'. This imaginative utilization of media had
extraordinary effect on society and strategy producers to consider the sex segregation and infringement of
kid rights in south-east nations. Presently in India internet- based life battles have assumed a colossal
position with regards to spreading awareness about a thing and that is the reason we have showed this
drive.

Chapter 4: Consequences of Child Labour
Child labor is one of the serious issue in terms of economic welfare. Children fails to get
necessary education in their childhood. They lack in the opportunity to develop physically,
intellectually, emotionally and psychologically.
Malnutrition : Children who work for more and those who are not ready for monotous work
become more exhausted and gets malnutrionised and loses their immunity to diseases.
Physical injuries: Children who tends to work in hazardous environment are even worse. They
do not posses the proper safety measures and lack knowledge in safety environment. They might
result in physical injuries and sometimes leads to death too.
Children lack proper education.
Without proper education, their talents and skills gets wasted and results in wasted human
resources.
As a result there is an increase in the future Unemployment.
Increase in child labor decreases India’s per capita income. The hazardous conditions lowers
India’s welfare level.
According to International Labor Organisation (ILO),there are tremendous economic benefits for
developing nations by sending children to school instead of work. Without education, children
do not gain necessary skills

Chapter 5: Methodology adopted for study
Target audience is defined by the people are most likely to understand and engage with our
campaign and are also united by some common characteristics like demographics, behavior etc.
These common characteristics are important in order to have a uniform reaction towards the
campaign with least negative deviations and achieving best possible conversion rates.
The campaign is completely concentrated towards promoting the cause of child labor, it is
required to be understood by each and every section of the society regardless of any of the
factors that divides the society into various sections and sub sections.
The success of the online campaign on child labor is directly proportional to the span of reach of
the campaign to the people, hence we do not have a specific target audience. The targeting of the
customers would have been more precise in case of a campaign for a service or a product.
Our philosophy for targeting is based on the fact that “We cannot target everyone, but we can
potentially reach everyone”.
However, some data points are still considered:
Age of the primary audience: Knowing which decade of life our audience are in can be quite
useful. This audience is the source of potential secondary audience for the campaign which is
based on the frequency of sharing of posts by the primary audience.
In case of our campaign, we have tried to focus more upon Generation Z for the frequent
propagation of our online campaign.
12 | L o v e l y P r o f e s s i o n a l U n i v e r s i t y
Stage of life: Our campaign has reached mostly to students who are pursuing any kind of course
or study from a college/university. Moreover, the students are more likely to understand the
issues and contribute to it.
Campaigning and advertising on Facebook is an essential way to expand our reach on the social
media platform. In addition, Facebook plays an important role in overall digital marketing by
increasing awareness by the campaigns and bringing in the more audience. Hence, some of the
reasons being identified by us for selecting Facebook as a platform for our campaign are:
Public relations with existing and potential audience
Facebook can be used to talk to the existing as well as potential audience for a promotional
campaign. On Facebook, we have only shared the information related to our chosen topic and
have remained highly focused on it which helps to build credibility and relationships with the
users.
People spend most of their time on Facebook
80 percent of all the internet users use Facebook, even 65% of the adults above the age of 65 use
Facebook. It has billions of users and most of them check their page multiple times per day.
Therefore, one of the most important benefits of campaigning through Facebook is that your
targeted segment uses it daily.
13 | L o v e l y P r o f e s s i o n a l U n i v e r s i t y
Cheapest form of advertising
Campaigning and advertising through Facebook is quite cheap method to perform. We can spend
Rs.300 (approx.) and reach 1,000 in no time.
14 | L o v e l y P r o f e s s i o n a l U n i v e r s i t y
Facebook let us to spread the word to friends of friends
When our target audience see the Facebook posts, their Facebook friends see them too, which in
turn multiplies the effectiveness of the efforts made in promoting a campaign.
Using facts and figures in a post can be a powerful tool. It provides a quantitative, objective and
persuasive platform on which to base an argument, prove a claim or support an idea. It a highly
logical way to demonstrate an idea to the target audience.
Using reputed sources of information such as government websites, academic institutions,
reputed research organizations think tanks etc. adds credibility to the posts of the campaign.
Posts depicting the cause and effect
It is important for the targeted audience to understand the cause of problem being propagated
through the campaign. With this they are able to identify the event that is responsible that is
responsible for the cause that resulted in an effect.
15 | L o v e l y P r o f e s s i o n a l U n i v e r s i t y
With such posts audience are able to analyze themselves socially and become more willing to
accept the consequences for their actions.
Introducing various keywords and phrases in the posts triggers the mentality of the audience and
helps them to focus and alter their way of thinking being developed towards the problem.
Hence a statement of cause and effect focuses on the significance, importance, relevance or
values of the consequences that happened. Keeping this in mind, some of our posts for the
campaign were also related to depict the cause and effect. An example if such a post is attached
below.
16 | L o v e l y P r o f e s s i o n a l U n i v e r s i t y
In a nutshell, it is important to be aware about the remedy along with the disease and with this
concept in mind we have numerous posts related to the laws and regulations for child labor on
our page

Researches have proved that the use of emojis in any communication makes people so
irresistible. Emojis have the power even to change the mood of the reader. Talking to a person
directly is easy for us but it becomes challenging when we are trying to make a conversation
with a person via internet. Hence emojis have been an integral part of our posts for the campaign
on Facebook. A similar post is attached below.
POSTING SCHEDULE:
With the creation of the page, we decided to make a post at uniform intervals with the view to
bind our audience continuously with our posts on the page. Each group member approximately
made a post on every second day.
The content of the posts was also changed for every post to make the content interesting. The
posts made were also shared with the audience over the whatsapp and other social media
platforms in order to maximize the reach of the page.
