“I have experienced how the lack of amenities and access hampers the growth of children and becomes a barrier in them achieving their dreams,” reported aiff.com quoting the footballer.
“It is prevalent all around us and everyone knows it. No child deserves to do that,” she further said.
Adding further she said, “Children have their dreams, be it completing their education or entering the world of sports. By sending them to work from such an early age, we only hamper that dream.”
“I urge everyone to join in on this effort and help save our kids from child labour,” she further added.
