According to the Friends of Salaam Baalak Trust website, India has 440 million children. That’s more than the entire population of North America (USA, Mexico and Canada put together). Every fifth child in the world is Indian. So what sort of life do these children have as they grow up?
- 40 percent of those under 5 are malnourished
- 50 percent do not attend school regularly
- Child labor is estimated at 60 million
- Two thirds of children are victims of physical abuse
