Teenage Factory Workers

Over 100 bonded labourers who were rescued from an agarbatti (incense sticks) factory on the outskirts of Bengaluru last week, are on their way back home. The workers, from West Bengal, Jharkhand, Assam, and Nepal had been locked up and guarded with dogs to prevent them from leaving.

A young Indian woman who grew up in Mumbai's red-light district facing poverty and sexual abuse has overcome the odds to win a scholarship to study in New York.

Foxconn Technology Group, the world's largest contract electronics maker, has acknowledged hiring teenagers as young as 14 in a Chinese factory, in breach of national law, in a case that raises further questions over its student intern programme.

A teenage boy was pulled out from the debris of the collapsed blanket factory on Wednesday, nearly 55 hours after the four-storey building had been flattened, police said. Many more people could still be trapped, officials said as rescue efforts continued for the third day.
