Really, can we be considered women and children as vulnerable groups in India? There are certain groups of human beings which either by nature or because of deep-rooted custom is weak and vulnerable, such as, child, women, disabled persons, aged persons etc. India has given equal status to women under its Constitution under Article 14 which provides that "the State shall not deny to any person equality before the law or the equal protection of the laws within the territory of India". The Constitution of India provides under the Article 15 that every female citizen has a right to access to shops, public restaurants, hotels and places of public entertainment and no restriction can be imposed on female citizens with regard to the use of wells, tanks, bathing ghats, roads and places etc. However, in order to improve their status further, the Constitution provides under Article 15(3) state may make special provisions for women. Likewise, the constitution of India under Article 24 provides that no child below the age of fourteen years shall be employed in any factory or mine or engaged in any other hazardous employment is prohibited but Child labour is prevailing still in India. According to the international Labour Organisation estimated in 2000 some 211 million children between 5 to 14 years of age work in developing countries, with about half working full time.
