In a nation where working conditions are inhumane in many areas and children are put to work and not receiving an education, political activists have spoken up. The Indian government in a partnership with the Garments Exporters Association (GEA) an association that is responsible for reporting and enforcing labor law violations to the governmental officials has stated NGO's have gone too far. Non-Government Organizations in India have worked to create an awareness of such practices in India that are still currently taking place, with the sweatshop industry and unethical and unlawful child labor business practices. On the other side of the issue, the GEA has stated numerous violations that have been claimed by the NGO's do not exist. The real issue that lies at hand is, whether or not the violations reported by the NGO's are valid and if the GEA has taken the proper sanctions necessary of any infractions of unlawful labor law violations. It is this writers opinion that many sweatshop industries and businesses that utilize child labor have supplements the GEA with a fair amount of cash to look the other direction. Open forum for discussion please.
